Sounds like you want to keep and up-to-date ports collection: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports-using.html The easiest way is probably the cvsup method, if you wish to always have access to the latest ports with a minimum of fuss. Combine that with "portupgrade -arP" and you have a pretty efficient mechanism of upgrading all your packages. -- / Peter Schuller, InfiDyne Technologies HB PGP userID: 0xE9758B7D or 'Peter Schuller ' Key retrieval: Send an E-Mail to getpgpkey@scode.org E-Mail: peter.schuller@infidyne.com Web: http://www.scode.org
