here's some of my bookmarks from dru lavigne's
stuff at oreilly on working with ports. the one
on portupgrade really helped jumpstart my learning
it.

yes sorry i jumped in without reading the man page for it's useage.
however some digging and a few other helpful emails and TA DA!!! it
works!!!
i portupgraded freetype2, and then firefox built successfully.
i was under the impression that portupgrade looked after
dependencies like this on it's own however?
If you tell it to..again, please see the manpage :)

Specifically:
-R
--upward-recursive Act on all those packages required by the
given
packages as well. (When specified with -F,
fetch
recursively, including the brand new,
uninstalled
ports that an upgraded port requires)
The man page is your friend.

don't i need to be wary of -R ?? wholesale upgrading of library's might
break other apps that use them
It's *always* a good idea to update your ports with your brain turned
on :-)
portupgrade -a is often safer, because it won't update a port but
leave other dependencies of that port than the one you specified
untouched.
