A word of caution: Whilst 'make update' does what is expected it also
may cause a lot of grief. It was yesterday that I wanted to upgrade
the x11/blt package in order to fix a problem that was highlighted
during a bulk build. blt required a newer version of tcl/tk than that
was installed on this system. With only a couple of other packages
depending on it I went ahead with the update. What I didn't know was
it also required a new version of libtool, a utility that many
packages depend on. I fell into this trap and it was to late to stop the
process by the time I've noticed the deinstallation of packages such as
kde, qt, kdevelop etc...

Not happy Jane!
