Hi All, Thanks for the responses. I don't cvsup ports-all to maintain my /usr/ports hierarchy. I use about 40 ports and I built /usr/ports by anoncvs checkout of just those that I use. The recent death of anoncvs.freebsd.org has prevented me from updating in my normal manner with anoncvs. I appreciate the convenience of cvsup for the src-all tree but feel that the near 100MB quoted for the full ports-all tree is a little much disk real-estate for my needs. My main use of pkg_version is with the periodic/weekly/400.pkg-status cron job pointed at the master INDEX file. Looks like I can't rely on=20 this method to check the status of my ports without first building a copy of INDEX locally :-( Regards, Neil Darlow M.Sc.
