Always recompiling same libraries.

[Boey Maun Suang]

Hi Erwan,

Try using the -n flag (don't upgrade dependencies in upgrade).  I  
also use -u (uninstall non-active ports when upgrading and  
uninstalling) to get rid of old versions, along with -f to force it  
to do that when the old versions have things that depend on them  
installed.  Do note, however, that you may need to rebuild ports that  
depend on ports that you have upgraded if you find that they don't  
work, in which case you can use "sudo port -ufn upgrade" rebuild the  
ports one by one (it's tedious, but I do it when needed).

I hope this helps.

Kind regards,


Maun Suang
