Honestly guys, what is this thread about?
Hum, understanding something?
You're not gonna make portupgrade work any faster or
smoother if you weed out a couple of switches from the
command-line.
See above.
I don't mean to bother anyone if you're
having fun, but it just seems that portupgrade's manpage
covers it all.
Ha, I knew a manpage guy would come around sooner or later. Don't
you think I read it already? I have questions it does not cover.
If you're not sure - just try it. If something's
strange - see if it's a bug, and if you're sure it is - send-pr.
I can use all the switches if I want. The entire alphabet soup.
But that won't help me understand what is happening. I am not
satisfied with not "seeing something strange".

Yeah, right. Maybe we could get together some time
and understand what's happening over a cup of tea.
Anyway. I don't know ruby at all. In fact, I don't know
any programming language very well at all.
% more `which portupgrade`
<search for "-a", "-r" and "-R">
opts.def_option("-a", "--all",
"Do with all the installed packages") {
|$all|
$recursive = false
$upward_recursive = false
}
opts.def_option("-r", "--recursive",
"Do with all those depending on the given
packages" << NEXTLINE <<
"as well") {
$recursive = true unless $all
}
opts.def_option("-R", "--upward-recursive",
"Do with all those required by the given packages"
<< NEXTLINE <<
"as well / Fetch recursively if -F is specified") {
$upward_recursive = true unless $all
$fetch_recursive = true
}
Fortunately, my somewhat basic English allows me
to understand it. Now what part of that is not covered
by the manpage?
Look at it again. Unless I'm completely off, -a and -r are mutually
exclusive. All sets $all and sets $recurse to false. -r only sets
$recurse if $all is not set. So if -a is specified you'll never get a
recurse. So the original question still stands - why use -r when you've
used -a?
Later,
Micah
