Be careful with your syntax: '-R' isn't consistent between pkg_info and portupgrade: Running 'pkg_info -R' will downward recurse, or show dependencies of the port in question, but 'portupgrade -R' will upward recurse and upgrade every port on which it depends - which often causes a _lot_ of ports to be rebuilt and is, in fact, the opposite of your description above. I've been caught by this before... regards -- Joel Hatton -- Infrastructure Manager | Hotline: +61 7 3365 4417 AusCERT - Australia's national CERT | Fax: +61 7 3365 7031 The University of Queensland | WWW: www.auscert.org.au Qld 4072 Australia | Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
