--gBBFr7Ir9EOA20Yy Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Hi -- I'm coming to FreeBSD after using Gentoo Linux extensively for a year and half, so I'm wondering whether some features of Gentoo have equivalents in FreeBSD ports: 1. is it possible to specify a particular version of a port that you want to install, or is there only one version of a port available at any one time in a particular distribution branch? 2. is it possible to have local ports, so as to keep my own ports (either new applications or development versions of pre-existing ports) in a separate place than the regular ports tree? I haven't come across this in the handbook, but I may have missed it. There may be other sources of documentation I've missed, too -- Thanks!
