I want to do a portupgrade on all installed ports.
What's the right way?
"portupgrade -arR ?"
or
"portupgrade -a" ?
I hesitate and don't want to screw up my machine.
portupgrade isn't suitable for upgrading the entire machine, even though
you do recursive and Recursive.
It is much faster to deinstall everything and then installing from
ground up. And it is far more secure in not screwing up.
I recommend writing down a list of apps you need to be happy, deinstall
everything and then install those apps. Dependencies comes along fine,
and then whatever remains can be installed as needed.
Anyway, the worst that can happen is that you will screw up some user
app's - ok this is bad - but your system won't require a reinstall :-)
