I use pkg upgrade to maintain most of my ports but a small number need to be built from source. To avoid problems I aim to keep my ports tree in sync with the snapshots used by the package cluster. Until a couple of weeks ago I was able to obtain the revision number of the ports snapshot by parsing the results of fetching beefy2.isc.freebsd.org/data/101amd64- default/.data.json. That server now appears to be only building 93amd64-default and 101amd64-quarterly. So now my ports are stuck at revision 381523 from about two weeks ago. Where can I now obtain the revision number for the ports tree used for the latest package build? Although the above method has worked in the past it's a bit of a bodge. The ideal way would be if this information could be accessed directly from the relevant package repository. Would it be possible to provide such a facility? -- Mike Clarke
