I have a mixture of ports and packages so it looks as though the best way of keeping them in step would be to update my ports tree late Wednesday night then wait until Sunday night before attempting to upgrade ports and packages? I understand that the package repositories are built from a snapshot of the ports tree. To assist users in keeping things in step I wonder if information could be made available for users to access the snapshot which was used for the published version of the repository so we could synchronise our ports tree with the one used for the currently available packages? -- Mike Clarke
