Thanks for the info. Do you think this may be a usefull feature for other
users coming from portupgrade though? If there is an option to always
rebuild, one would think there would be an opposite option too.
I can't speak for Doug as to what gets added to portmaster.
However, as a user of portmaster, I would like to say that just
because portupgrade (or portmanager, or port-tool-of-the-month) has a
specific feature, doesn't mean it absolutely needs to be added to
portmaster.
Im not saying because its in portupgrade it needs to be in portmaster.
I'm simply saying that it's a useful feature for me, and possibly
others. It also doesnt make sense to me to have an option to explicitly
force rebuilds of ports that don't need an update, but have no option to
disable rebuilds.
Personally, I can say that in my many years of using port management
tools (on firewalls, routers, servers, and desktops), I have never had
a need for a feature like this.
