I just updated my system from xorg-libraries 7.2 to 7.2.1

and had a little trouble with portupgrade

===> Cleaning for xorg-libraries-7.2_1
Read /usr/ports/UPDATING for the procedure to upgrade or install xorg
7.2.
*** Error code 1

until I used export XORG_UPGRADE=yes from /usr/ports/UPDATING.

Do I have to do this everytime I run portupgrade?

UPDATING says:
It is necessary to set the XORG_UPGRADE environment variable while
updating from xorg 6.9 to 7.2. Once the upgrade is complete this
is no longer be required.

xorg 7.2 was installed on this system from scratch, ie no ports to start
with.

For right now if you want portupgrade to do anything with xorg you
need to export XORG_UPGRADE
