Macports upgrade problem

[Keith J.Schultz]

Hi All,

	Well I guess my basic question is what is the best way to upgrade.
	
	I just tried:
		sudo port -d - R upgrade gnome users-docs

	After a endless wait I get:
...
...
DEBUG: gnome-user-docs 2.18.2_0 is installed
DEBUG: Not following dependencies
DEBUG: No need to upgrade! gnome-user-docs 2.18.2_0 >= gnome-user- 
docs 2.18.2_0

tclsh(244,0xa000ed88) malloc: *** set a breakpoint in szone_error to

Abort trap

	From the looks of the output and top tchsh was using over 1.5 GB of  
VM that there might be a memory leak or the upgrade process
	is going into a infinite loop!??

	Also, from the looks of the output upgrade is checking port that  
already have been check. It might advidable to gather a list of ports
	checked and skipping those. This would definately speed up the  
pocess. Or am I missing something.

	regards
