I wanted to keep the initial changes very contained, so avoided any template updates. We may change this in the future. * There will be false-positives, but we'll attempt to address them once they are identified. For example, so that have already been seen: Port | Current version | New version ------------------------------------------- irc/insub | 16.0 | initial net/6tunnel | 0.11rc2.20130525| 0.11rc1 Having said that, most of these CAN be resolved by having the upstream authors tag their repositories 'properly', that is with version numbers. If you notice anything strange or broken, or would like to get involved in improving portscout in any way, please join #freebsd-ports on freenode IRC, or #bsdports on Efnet. -- Koobs
