But portupgrade -af (and more switches...) can be a great deal more than 'painful' with a large number of ports and dependencies. *Most expecially* during times when working with PRE, BETA(n), or CURRENT, plus the odd MFC back to allegedly predictable branches. Libs aside, the ports tree is just too large to be in even 'close to' perfect sync at these times (now!). My experience is that - tedious as it may sound - it is less *overall* work to upgrade the ports one at a time - known-problematic ones first - even if that means a good deal of backing and filling. Rationale is that whatever breaks - and things will do - it 'in your face' and more amenable to fix w/o driving on and breaking several less-visible things at once. JM2CW - with 400+ items listed in /var/db/pkg, though most are libs and support components. That said, I could also make the case that a clean install and the requisite pkg_add -rv might now be faster *especially* if you've got most of the tarballs at hand and a majority are still current. As they may very well be IF you run portaudit and portupgrade regularly. YMMV - but - one way or the other, staying current is very important. Bill Hacker
