this is not working here as expected, with current from yesterday - ends
up in an endless dependencies loop (because some libs fail to upgrade).

any other hints for upgrading all installed ports?
i have a shell script which gets all installed ports into a list -
removes them all and reinstall them again.
but i believe there must be some easier upgrade strategy.
i thought about running a complete build to have all packages, and then
use pkg_add -r -u, but the bulk build takes so much time...

whats the (best) suggested way to upgrade only installed and outdated 
ports if i run from current to current...?
