what livecheck does, it lets you type (the rather unwieldy) "port echo maintainer:yourname | sudo xargs -n 1 port livecheck" and see which of your ports have new versions available, so that you know which ones you need to update.
You could use the simpler form: port livecheck maintainer:yourname.
Thanks, I feel better already! :-) Though, I still find it odd that I have to use sudo. If I don't: $ port livecheck maintainer:ryandesign Error: Unable to execute port: /opt/local/var/db/dports/build/ _Users_rschmidt_macports_dports_graphics_ImageMagick/ work/.darwinports.ImageMagick.state is not writable - check permission on port directory It's non-intuitive that it would have to write anything to disk when all I'm asking it to do is check the contents of some remote web sites.
