Well, portupgrade -FRaN sounded promising, but upon further reflection, I suspect that would fetch only distfiles for those ports which are already installed, plus any new dependencies that are not yet installed. Perhaps we need a meta-port which includes _everything_ as a build dependency. Then you just fetch that. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
