</span>No, because, as I said, it would revert to a previous tree state. The thing is doing it by reinstalling only the upgraded ports and not the whole tree. It shouldn't be difficult to implement.</blockquote><div><br></div><div>@Bradley, when we came up with re-installing all the ports, I had this doubt too. It sure shouldn't be difficult, getting only the upper and lower dependencies to check for, if a user is able to figure out the faulty port himself. </div><div><br></div><div>I understand the part of migration but I'd like to know more about the restore here.

To me, "it would revert to a previous tree state" sounds like restore but with less complexity.
