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?
