    Hello,

    After running portsdb -Uu I ran a portupgrade -a.

    Other than taking two days to finish is there a reason why upgrading "ALL"
    ports at one time is a bad idea?

    one other thing. I got hundreds of _POSIX_C_SOURCE: not defined errors.

    I am assuming this is some kind of system variable that defines where my C
    Source files are located. If I am correct would someone tell me what this
    setting should be and where to find the file that I set it in?

    As always the newbies mailing list is a great help. Thanks in advance.

    Thank you,
    Joshua Lewis
