It's true that with some ports there's some lag time between the release of the particular program and the ports tree being brought into sync with it. e.g. if samba released a new version 10 minutes ago, I can guarantee that /usr/ports/net/samba wouldn't be up to date yet. That being said, the name of a directory on a mirror site is no indication of anything, it's just a directory name. 6:52pm [root@cartman] # pkg_info | grep samba samba-2.2.2_3 A free SMB and CIFS client and server for UNIX And... if you root around samba.org (which actually took some rooting) you'll find that v2.2.2 is indeed the latest -stable version of the application. Development version's don't count. --Chris > > The Samba I got works but is not the latest version expected for sure. > > At 02:52 PM 2.1.2002 -0800, Kris Kennaway wrote: > >On Fri, Feb 01, 2002 at 03:47:25PM -0600, jacks@sage-american.com wrote: > >> But, unless you have the actual tarballs already, it doesn't > guarantee that > >> you'll get the latest install even though the port files promises the > >> latest version will be fetched.
