Hey,

I know there's a portupgrade utility to use for ports, but is there
something that can upgrade packages as well?  I usually install alot of
packages, and I don't have the patience with ports because I have to wait to
get the package from some anonymous site, and then wait for it to compile,
etc.  So are packages just updated for each release or are they update
regularily?  I'm a Debian user as well, and I'm used to being able to
upgrade packages easily with apt-get update && apt-get upgrade.  Does this
sort of thing exist for FreeBSD?

Thanks
