Hi,
manpage of portmaster says:
--show-work
show what dependent ports are, and are not installed (implies -t).
It is right behavior of this option, but I think its name is confusing.
I think it should be names something like "show-deps" or
"show-installed-deps" instead of "show-work".
The name "show-work" is more like "show me what steps will be done", so
for example in the following case "I want" to know what is installed
(and up to date), what is installed (but will be updated), and what is
not installed and will be installed.
example:

So from the output above I don't see what work will be done, it seems
like all is installed and nothing will be done (which is not true)
My expectation is something like this list:

Ports marked by asterisk will be updated
--------------------
I don't mind what the real mark will be, but I think it will be useful
feature. Users then will know what will be done.
It will be also useful with -x (excluding) to test before real run.
What do you think about my proposal?
The next step (non default) can be interactive run of portmaster for
beginers with questions like:
# portmaster php5-extensions
The following ports will be updated or installed
as part of update of php5-extensions:
[there will be similar list as above]
Do you really want to continue the update? Y/N:
