We will usually assume that people are familiar with the basics of package/ports management, and pkg_info isn't hard to find, nor hard to use -- and it's not asking too much of you to read the manuals. So please, before insisting that people sacrifice their leisure time to read readily found pages to you that you could read yourself, think again. And note, Chris has spent nearly his entire summer vacation on improving various aspects of the ports system, so a bit more respect would seem in order. Further reading for you: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/packages-using.html man pkg_info man ports and possibly more. Best, Matthias
