    Hi List,
    I asked a couple of questions a few months ago about upgrading ports on
    production machines and portupgrade seemed to be a recommended tool for
    this, even on production servers. So now I have questions about
    portupgrade :-)

    I want to use port upgrade to upgrade ports but what about ports where I
    have modified the Makefile? Will I get the opportunity to modify the
    Makefile after it downloads the newest port; but before it installs? I
    have dug around for tutorials/ how-to's for portupgrade but I have not
    been so lucky as to find answers regarding this.
    Thanks for help!!
    Lewis
