I really had no idea this site existed. Now I can parse the start time of build from that site, and then sync a p= orts tree by svn revision date. Well, at least until there is a revision = number or a start of build date available in pkg stats, which would be ni= ce. =20 > I've tried to sync the ports tree and packages based on a date but have= > not been able to identify one. However, between a date and a build > number my guilt feeling is that the latter is the safer option. My gut feeling says that there is no difference in "safety" between the o= ptions. Both options allow to sync a ports tree to be in line with the re= pository you are using during a specific span of time. I have a rationale for this. You see, the primary repository of ports is = hosted with Subversion aka svn. Svn permanently records the dates of each= commit along with the revision number. You can ask "give me the latest r= evision of the ports tree that existed just before this specific time ple= ase", and you get what you wanted. Not all repository tools support this (in GIT it is a lot less reliable t= o check out revisions by date). But SVN does, and this is all that matter= s, since you can sync your ports tree with svn alone. --hg4Q6whAGsTb9jWOHEe7Q1Tc3s9va5lu9 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (MingW32) iF4EAREIAAYFAlYLuesACgkQTBivhqtJa25xnAD+IWhupSJKpL1/kqgZHBbx+29d HOjLKCPtkZ/2ntw7HVwBAJh5S0iv5dHiTGJXV00umuwsf9/vwp9deqbK1WxhPJOV =G311 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --hg4Q6whAGsTb9jWOHEe7Q1Tc3s9va5lu9--
