Hey there,
I'm presently in the process of trying to do a portupgrade from rt-3.8.8
to 3.8.13. By all estimations, this is a minor bump.
Already, I've encountered several annoyances due to ABI changes, such as
the libtool2.4 fun. With normal portupgrade, this forces you to go fix
the dependent port.
Finally, I just applied -r, which should update all dependent packages,
but it seems to upgrade them unconditionally.
"-r" will upgrade all dependent ports *if* a newer version is available.
"-rf" will upgrade all dependent ports unconditionally.
You would think there's an option to portupgrade that says "don't
upgrade every single package I've got, but if somewhere in the
dependency chain I need a newer version of a thing, then do it."
I'm not sure what you mean.
I guess you waned "portupgrade -R rt", which will upgrade all ports rt
is depending on.
HTH.
bye
av.
