Right, I was just pointing out that it is not necessarily a problem with portmaster since PORTREVISION should have been bumped. :) Thank you for brining this up, however, since it is a mistake in the port and may be a nice addition to portmaster (if such a thing does not already exist). > What I'm really looking for is the portmaster equivalent of > portupgrade's "pkgdb -L" to look for lost dependencies so I can > check all the installed ports dependency chains. That I will leave up to Doug to answer. -- WXS _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
