Thanks for that Lowell. Yes I knew about the pkg_version cmd. I was just hoping that I had missed a command or file that explain it all. I started digging around, and found that the /usr/ports/LEGAL file has the following: # $FreeBSD: ports/LEGAL,v 1.274 2003/02/19 04:24:53 marcus Exp $ as one of the headers, so I guess, that is a rough indication of when it was compiled. Perhaps it might even roughly tie in with the FTP site iso.... Hmmm, just checked, and they only show 4.8 as the oldest: April 2003 So I guess, that ports version came with 4.7. Anyway, thanks everyone.

Hmm, was the ports tree upgraded along with main upgrades or not? Ports are not updated along with the base system. You can do that separately, but usually don't need to. You can determine the versions of the ports installed on your system with the pkg_version(1) command. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
