What happens when you want to UPGRADE a port or a package? For example, right now I have the port of pine 4.10 installed. I'd like to upgrade this to the latest port of pine 4.21. Do I need to uninstall the old port first? Or will the new port see that I had the old one installed, and upgrade it appropriatly? Basically, I don't want to have both 4.10 AND 4.21 installed. And this applies to any other ports as well, not just pine. I couldn't find this documented in the handbook anywhere, so if someone could clear this up for me, I'd really appreciate it! -Christian To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
