I've also discovered cvsup to update the ports collection (might make a cron job out of that actually). However... if I have installed say Samba 2.0.5a (which I have) and would like to upgrade that to 2.0.6, what would be the best procedure? Just to hack the Makefile to make it point to 2.0.6 and make the new version, or should I do make deinstall first? I'd also like to install KDE 1.1.2 somehow, but the port is only 1.1.1. KDE is split into heaps of different files, so I'm wondering where to start here. (Apologies if this is apparent by reading the Makefile or something.) Wish I had made /usr bigger or put /usr/ports onto a separate partition... 87% full already.
