'portupgrade -a' is sufficient and in fact is not different from '-ar' or '-arR'. If you take a look at the source of portupgrade (just read the script file) you will see that as soon as '-a' is specified, the options '-r' and '-R' are ignored/switched off. > Secondly, I've seen people use 'portupgrade -arR', but isn't that > completely unnessesary?

No, but you can use just '-a', there really is no difference. cu, Uwe _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
