But, to continue the example, if any of the other outdated ports depend on kdenetwork4, MacPorts will still try to upgrade kdenetwork4. Personally I just run "port outdated" and then individually upgrade the specific ports I want to upgrade. If it starts building something I didn't want it to build, I cancel it. (For example, I'm not ready to upgrade to Subversion 1.7 yet, so if, when upgrading some other port, it starts trying to upgrade subversion, I cancel it.) _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-users
