I've just cvsup'd my ports tree and then ran pkg_version -v and got this for one of my installed ports: pdksh-5.2.14 > succeeds port (port has 5.2.14.p2) Never seen that before! Could someone who know more about this give an explanation, please? Man pkg_version says this about that string result: > The installed version of the package is newer than the current version.This situation can arise with an out-of-date index file, or when testing new ports. Taking both explanations for this case: 1] I always run portsdb -Uu after cvsup'ing the ports tree, I wouldn't have thought that my Index file was out-of-date. 2] Not sure about the "testing nrew ports" either, I'm not (oknowingly) actively testing new ports.
