Hi,
After a database headache caused by my own doofusity, I've been
contemplating switching from portupgrade. (Hey, it's been a few
years, things could have changed.) Checking in /usr/ports/sysutils,
it seems that we have a whole bunch of different tools -- portmaster,
portmanager, portsman, and portupgrade.
A search of the mailing list archive doesn't seem to lead me to a
clear successor or improvement upon portupgrade. Is portupgrade still
as good as it gets, or are we headed towards another tool any time
soon?
Thanks,
==ml
