BTW portmanager was excellent the for the first few years. One could begin an

ports...). It would serve many well if someone were to rewrite if for the
present ports structure IMHO. (That was for just one of its usages that I used
a lot, the others I was still using portupgrade or a custom .sh script, for
those fifty percent or so
of the time in which I did not simply permit portmanager to complete the task.)
portupgrade -na does that also. That and portupgrade's -R function
(rebuild everything that the named port depends on, and then the named
port) are the only thing I miss in portmaster._______________________________________________
