If you have the latest /usr/ports/INDEX, you can jade# cd /usr/ports jade# make search name=sawfish and choose your version. From that point on, it is a matter of doing a cd to the directory. There are two versions of sawfish and do a make and make install. When you have a program already installed, you need to pkg_delete it or do a "make deinstall" before you do the make install or make reinstall. If you have built it from src before you can use the deinstall/reinstall. Normally, you make the port, then pkg_delete it, and do a make install. When the current version needs rebuilding, it depends a lot on how you cleaned up after the last build.
