    Hi list,

    I am trying out portmanager-0.2.2, on a 5.3-RELEASE box.

    I have openoffice-1.1.3.20040810 installed. I don't want to upgrade
    openoffice at this time, as I don't have the space for a full compile
    and will wait for a new package.

    I have set openoffice to be held in pkgtools.conf in /usr/local/etc.
    Portupgrade honours this setting. Portmanager doesn't, therefore every
    time I attempt to run portmanager it tries to compile
    openoffice-1.1.4.20041101_1

    I have looked at portmanager and cannot find a way to prevent it
    updating certain ports, and it doesn't honour the hold_pkgs in
    pkgtools.conf.

    Any ideas as to how to make portmanager ignore held ports?

    This problem makes portmanager unusable for me, as it updates openoffice
    first, so it never actually gets to the smaller out of date ports.

    Many thanks in advance
    .nbco
