I also understand that the best way to update ports is to make them then try them, then de-install the old ones and re-install the new ones. here are 2 questions: Is there one command that will rebuild ALL the ports without installing them? Something similar to 'make buildworld', only for the ports collection? Also, when trying the new version of a port, even though the package may have a different name, won't the binary have the same name and overwrite the older version?
