Default portupgrade, upgrading the whole system

HI all,

I wondered if portupgrade -a does recompile every package, or only packages that are upgraded/updated. Also, if I do portupgrade -af for updating my system, and it gives me an output that some packages are failed, others are skipped and other ignored, and then type portupgrade -af again. Will this recompile all those packages again?

Why would some packages be ignored for updating?

Thanks in advance!

Have you tried with n switch?

Code:
-n
     --noexecute            Do not actually install or upgrade any packages;
                            just show what would be done.  This option implies
                            -v and negates -i and -y.

portupgrade -a will upgrade all packages that need upgraded; up-to-date packages will not be upgraded.

portupgrade -af will force all packages to be upgraded whether they are up-to-date or not. It has no knowledge of whether you ran it before or not, so it would start from the beginning if you ran it again.

If package A requires package B and package B fails, package A will be skipped. A package could be ignored if it is currently broken or set to be ignored or if some other error occurred.
