Hello,
According to man portmaster the -a option will "Update all ports that
need updating". Does this apply to only installed ports or to
everything in /usr/ports?
It applies to installed ports. A commonly used command to
upgrade them is "portupgrad -af".
Whoa--hold on there!
portmaster -a
portupgrade -a
Both say "upgrade all installed ports that need upgrading". Both can
fail, but many people use them routinely.
portupgrade -af
means to force an upgrade of every installed port, even if it's already
at the latest version. Don't do this lightly!
