Basically i install something and use it for a while and then when a newer version comes out i uninstall it and then reinstall it from the updated ports directory. Is there an easier way of keeping installed ports up to date ? I mean, can the files be kept up to date with CVS or do i have to uninstall the program everytime from my constantly updating ports directory ? regards, -- Rob Carmichael To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
