When installing some port, then I use portmaster -D /usr/port/<some port path>, the -D determining that I do not want to be prompted whether to retain the old distfiles or not, but to retain them (-d being the converse and deleting old distfiles). Using portmaster in the way described checks for dependencies and automagically updates them in case there are newer available. Cheers, --=20 Christopher J.
