Yep, but that changed a while ago (1.2-1.3 IIRC).
I want to upgrade out-of-date dependencies, I just also want to actually install the damn thing.Is there any solution to this right now?Personally, I know which of the ports I use require which other ports, so I manually "sudo port -ncuf upgrade foo" for each port, in the correct order (e.g., if apr, apr-util and subversion all need updating, do them in that order).I don't know if there's a better more-automated way.
If you're really lucky, you can do: port -dvnf upgrade outdated... but if you need to rebuild in a specific order to satisfy dependencies correctly, then it probably won't work.
patches to the upgrade code to make it smarter are, of course, welcome :)
