As an aside, the Severity and Priority fields have been so often abused as to have become meaningless. Although I still try to groom the db for "critical" ones, and thus try to get those some attention, I really don't think the committers pay much attention. (In general I think those should be reserved for "data corruption" and "security".) The longer-term solution is to remove those as user-settable fields. > This hard to understand given portupgrade is the recommended upgrade > tool. Once the individual who was working on it gave it up to the mailing list, it became one of those "everyone is responsible so no one is responsible" problems. I don't have a recommended fix for this. Having said that, I have a ports tree as of a month ago and portupgrade was working ok for me. I don't have the cycles to go figure out where it fails to be able to fix it, sorry. mcl _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
