I'm used to binary-package distributions that seem to try a lot harder to not break. I suppose that ports is evolving, and it used to be worse, so I shouldn't complain. Still, if the handbook says to use portupgrade -R to upgrade a port, that's what BSD newbies like me are going to use. I'm just glad that portupgrade has a -n switch. Mike -- Michael P.
