Dear Rob, If you wish to **update** [some of] your installed ports, you might=20 want have a look at the -c option of pkg_version(1), as well as=20 reading its EXAMPLES section. N.B. You **have** to edit the script containing the commands output,=20 or you may obtain weird results. By the way, recompiling some of your ports may be necessary after a=20 major upgrade (e.g. from 3.x to 4.x); usually, a minor update (ie=20 within the same -STABLE branch) doesn't require that.
