It's really not appropriate to hijack the portupgrade thread for this, so I'm starting a new subject. Also, please respect followups to -ports.

Don't remember everything of that sort but here are a couple of things
I would like to ask portmaster users' opinion and advice about:

1. I see a significant difference in the time it takes to get the same
   information using the two tools:

As I understand it, portupgrade uses the INDEX file to determine whether ports are up to date. Portmaster recurses through each installed port and does 'make -V PKGVERSION'.

2. It looks like there are no `portmaster' equivalents to
   `portupgrade' `-P' and `-PP' options, which I want to have.

If portupgrade does the job for you, keep using it. :) I have said many times that I'm not looking to write a portupgrade replacement. Use the right tool for the job(s) you have to do.

Good luck,

Doug
