Congrats to all involved.Has portmaster been evaluated as an upgrade tool? I'm in a better position atm to be able to address any deficiencies if that will help speed this along.The current plan is the following: 2) Final prep work in git repository. We need a day or two to confirm the upgrade method for users. Unfortunately testing has exposed a critical deficiency in portupgrade so 'portupgrade -a' will not be enough to give a working upgrade, and some pre-upgrade steps will berequired.No, at a minimum I am not comfortable recommending its use until it saves old shared libraries across updates (I sent you email about this a while ago), which is a vital safety and robustness mechanism.
Ok, no worries then. I have no plans to add that feature at this time, partly because there has been no user demand for it, and mostly because I don't like the idea. I recognize however that reasonable minds may differ on that topic.
