The problem is if you use portupgrade, it will update the dependencies inside +CONTENTS and +REQUIRED_BY, so ports that may have been installed long ago will have their directory timestamps updated: /var/db/pkg> ls -l pkgconfig-0.20_2 total 41 -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 60 May 2 09:54 +COMMENT -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 539 May 2 09:54 +CONTENTS -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 771 May 2 09:54 +DESC -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 15248 May 2 09:54 +MTREE_DIRS -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 4072 May 17 15:22 +REQUIRED_BY drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 May 17 15:21 ./ drwxr-xr-x 692 root wheel 18432 May 17 15:21 ../ It depends on what date you're interested in, I guess. -- Dan Nelson dnelson@allantgroup.com
