Configuration
It would be nice to have a section on configuration and installation of this port. What does the configuration option do: "BUILD_DEPENDS_ARE_LEAVES - Treat build dependencies as leaves" ?
I'd also like to see better reasons given for the favorable comparison. The blanket statement that portmanager is better than portupgrade is not well illustrated by the link to a description of a common error that shows up when you use '-a' instead of '-ra' or '-raR'. For another example, is it really "better" (rather than "simpler") that this tool automatically uninstalls ports that have been deleted from the port tree? Ninereasons 12:56, 14 April 2006 (EDT)
