It doesn't interfere with anything or require any intervention.

If an individual package is in portaudit, build just that single port with portupgrade. Each full upgrade, on average, replaces n old bugs with n new bugs. It doesn't matter much whether you upgrade twice a day or twice a year. _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
