Just a couple more questions: If I keep my ports tree cvsup'd every day, I'm going to have: openoffice-1.1.3 < needs updating (port has 1.1.3_1)
We generally do a "portupgrade -a" to upgrade ports unless /usr/ports/UPDATING affects us. How can I get around the openoffice discrepency since a portupgrade -a will always try build it again and end up failing?
portupgrade -a -x openoffice-1.1.3 ??
I must be losing it. I looked at the man page twice and didn't see that -x switch. Must be Friday or something. Thanks -- that does it.

However, please note the response that mentions using HOLD_PKG in /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf; that'll save
you from having to use -x at all.
The first reason being is that it removes the chance of forgetting the '-x' and walking away, but I was also delighted with this output:
---> Skipping 'editors/openoffice-1.1' because it is held by user (specify -f to force)
Which makes it nice to remember it's still there, and when the port gets fixed for 5.3, I'll be reminded to try again at some point.
Cheers, DW
