I believe at www.freebsd.ork/~nik there is a diff file that can be used as a patch for pkg_version. It is supposed to check all ports installed and compare them to the last cvsup list of ports. If there is an update you may want, it lets you know. I would try this if it weren't for two things: 1. I'm not quite sure how to apply patches.. i think it's a basic 'patch INFILE OUTFILE' command, but that's only part of the problem... 2. I can't get pkg_version to install. I've tried several times, but the file servers all tell me 'permission denied' to DL the distfiles i need. So i gave up. It sure sounds nice, though, doesn't it?
