pardon, but doesnt using -R (-dfunR) take care of this?
Yes, it does The Right Thing if there a newly-introduced mismatch in a port that has dependents.
-R also upgrade dependents (only for upgrading)
But I think that the OP was looking for a simpler way to upgrade existing ports without using "force" or ideally with no flags at all (well, maybe an optional -c).
using -fundR is 5 flags, and I usually add -c, so we're up to 6 arguments to do what many would expect to be the default operaion. -- Paul Beard / www.paulbeard.org/ <paulbeard@gmail.com/paulbeard@gmail.com>
yep, (except posibly -d) I prefer those as the defaults meself. :) btw you know you find out what's outdated with port outdated very logical -- but then you would expected to update them with port update foo (or all) but you cant, you have to say port upgrade foo (and upgrade "all" installs all uninstalled ports). Then to upgrade the port system itsself you'd expect port selfupgrade but you cant. Instead you must say port selfupdate. ;) William Davis frstanATbellsouthDOTnet Mac OS X.5.1 Darwin 9.1.0 X11.app 2.1.0 - X.org X11R7.2 Mac Mini Intel Duo @ 1.86 GHz Mundus vult decepi, ego non
