Hi all,
I'm having problems using portversion. I do not understand how to fix "?
origin unknown" for certain ports.
# cd /usr/ports
# portversion -v
XFree86-3.3.6 ? origin unknown
XFree86-aoutlibs-3.3.3 ? origin unknown
XFree86-contrib-3.3.6 ? origin unknown
Xaw3d-1.5 ? origin unknown
apache-1.3.20 ? origin unknown
autoconf-2.13_1 = up-to-date with port
automake-1.4.5_1 = up-to-date with port
bash-2.04 ? origin unknown
boehm-gc-5.3_1 = up-to-date with port
bpft-2.0 ? origin unknown
bzip2-1.0.1 = up-to-date with port
cdrecord-1.9 ? origin unknown
crack-5.0 ? origin unknown
cvsup-16.1d ? origin unknown
cvsweb-1.112.1.82 = up-to-date with port
daemontools-0.70_1 ? origin unknown
djbdns-1.05 ? origin unknown
docbook-1.2 ? origin unknown
docbook-241 ? origin unknown
docbook-3.0 ? origin unknown
docbook-3.1 ? origin unknown
docbook-4.0 ? origin unknown
docbook-4.1 ? origin unknown
docproj-1.9 ? origin unknown

From portversion(1) manpage:
[...]
? The installed package does not appear in the database. This
could be because the port has been removed from the official
ports tree, or because the package was installed from an unoffi-
cial (or not yet committed) port, or because the index file has
not been updated in sync with the tree yet.
! The installed package does not have an origin recorded. This
could be because the package was installed long ago. You can run
``pkgdepfix -o'' to complete missing origins.
You can cope with most out-of-date situations by updating the ports tree
and running ``portsdb -U''. (See portsdb(1) for details)
[...]
So, I CVSup'd the Ports Collection, ran ``portsdb -Uu'' to rebuild INDEX and
``pkgdepfix -o'' to fix missing origins.
I'm still having the same output from portversion. Furthermore, not all ports
are found running a ``make search name=portname''. For example:
# cd /usr/ports
# make search name=samba
# cat /usr/ports/net/samba/pkg-comment

Actually, I have installed samba-2.0.7 from the Ports:
# portversion -v samba
samba-2.0.7 ? origin unknown
but portversion is unable to detect that this port needs updating:
# grep PORTVERSION /usr/ports/net/samba/Makefile
PORTVERSION= 2.0.10
The problem does not show up using the good 'old' pkg_version:
# pkg_version -vs samba
samba-2.0.7 < needs updating (port has 2.0.10)
OS version is:
# uname -a

# pkg_info -I 'portupgrade*'
