That's a good suggestion, but if you want to use that technique, better
would be: portmaster `pkg_version -vIL= | awk '/^p5-/ { print $1 }'` ...
Unless the number of ports involved is very large, either
should produce exactly the same effect. Absent a -n or -s
switch, xargs collects up to 5000 args or a ~250KB command
line for each invocation of (in this case) portmaster.
Interesting ... not sure how I got it in my mind that xargs always runs
them one at a time, but thanks for clarifying this. :)
