How would I do that using portmaster? I read both > man pages many times. Those look backwards to me. It's extremely rare for me to upgrade everything that a given port depends on (-R), but common to upgrade a port and everything that depends on it (-r). Anyway... as I understand the man pages: "portmaster ..." = "portupgrade -r ..." "portmaster -r ..." = "portupgrade -rf ..."
