In addition, after running portsdb -Uu (after you've cvsup'ed), running: portversion -l "<" will provide you with a list of outdated installed ports/packages. You can then upgrade each package individually: portupgrade mplayer or upgrade all installed and out-of-date ports/packages: portupgrade -ar You might also want to read over ONLamp's take on this issue: Ports Tricks http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2003/08/07/FreeBSD_Basics.html Cleaning Up Ports http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2001/11/29/Big_Scary_Daemons.html Hope this helps, I can't guarantee that this is the absolute "right way", but it's worked for me without fail up to this point. If, however, there are any glaring errors in my procedures, please correct them.
