Hi,

I'm not sure I understand this correct, but to me it seems ports(7) is missing the difference between FORCE_UPDATE=Yes and FORCE_UPDATE=hard.


ports(7)
If FORCE_UPDATE is set to `Yes', dependencies will also be updated first, and packages will always be updated, even if there is no difference between the old and the new packages.

bsd.port.mk(5)
FORCE_UPDATE User settings. If set to `Yes', the update target will always update an installed package, as soon as its signature differs, and all dependencies that install packages will also force an update. If set to `hard', the update target will also update installed packages even when the signature did not change.

Cheers,
Markus
