What is the use of specifying the 'r' switch when using the 'a'
switch?
# portupgrade -ar
This says to upgrade all ports plus the ones that depend on all
those ports. Am I missing something? Wouldn't "the ones that
depend" be upgraded anyway?
I understand the reasoning behind using the 'R' switch with 'a'
since there may be new ports that are not installed that are
required by upgradeable ports.
