Portupgrade moved: use --origin to upgrade it?
I remember seeing some weeks ago that people had run into difficulties when portupgrade moved from sysutils into ports-mgmt, and one recommendation was to deinstall portupgrade and then cd /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/portupgrade make install Possibly silly question: will I be able to avoid problems while still using portupgrade by simply setting the origin, ie portupgrade -NR --origin ports-mgmt/portupgrade portupgrade ?

I've (now) got a spare box I can try it on without turning a drama into a crisis if things go wrong.

I apologize --- I guess I was remembering 20070102 instead, which was probably the (sigh) last time I rebuilt portupgrade.
