As someone has pointed out before, you need cvsup the ports tree then a portupgrade. Yes, after the cvsup and portupgrade you will have 1.0.1 Also note, that even after a cvsup and portupgrade, you will not always have the latest, greatest version of a port. It all depends on the maintainer of the port and how much time they have to do the work etc, etc, etc. -- Best regards, Chris No matter how large the work space, if two projects must be done at the same time they will require the same part of the work space.
