Updating all packages is a tricky process, so having an oversimplified port=
upgrade is not necessarily the best solution.  There are different options:
- simple make update/replace (thought it's advisable to backup the old pack=
age, or use make package, in case it fails)=20
- pkg_chk -g and pkg_chk -u
- pkgmanager
- pkg_comp's chroot
- straight sandboxing with the scripts in pkgsrc/mk/bulk/
- my preferred method: pkgdepgraph (look at the EXAMPLES in the man page)
