I'll probably get flamed for this but since I've been using
ports-mgmt/portmanager I've almost forgotten
about /usr/ports/UPDATING and all that pkgdb -Fu stuff or whatever it
was. I've upgraded ports just by doing 'portmanager -u' over one or
two quite major changes and not had any problems that haven't been
down to an individual ports.
You still need to read UPDATING, portmanager handles some of the
issues automatically, but not all.
Not trolling but can you give me some examples?

Yes. I think there is at least one. Please, consider to correct me if I am
wrong.
Yesterday, reading the contents of /usr/src/UPDATING in the source tree (using
portupdate-scan) I found :
"[...]

The default version of Python has been changed from 2.5.x to 2.6.x.
If you have 2.5.x installed, perform an upgrade of lang/python25 to
lang/python26 with the following command:

Can portmanager know that the default version of a port has been changed and
then you need to do the upgrade to the newer major version ?
I don't know. I will put testing it on my todo list (which I really do
hope to get around to :)

And if it can know that... can also portmanager know that
"[...]
Once the installed Python has been updated to 2.6, by using the
method above, it is required to run the upgrade-site-packages target in
lang/python to assure that site-packages are made available to the new

If, otherwise, using portmanager you end up with a newer version of python 2.5
(for example)... are you sure that every upgrade in the future will work
flawlessly ? After Reading the UPDATING file a guy will

will portmanager do the same ?
