Ah - there's *two* meanings for "old" here. If you were talking about binaries installed by out-of-date ports, that's easy: weekly_status_pkg in the periodic subsystem will do that for you. However, I believe you were talking about binaries that may have been built from a current port against an out-of-date system. Frankly, I'm not really interested in *detecting* such things. A tool that would 1) save tarballs of *all* installed ports; 2) uninstall them all; then 3) rebuild and install them all, with a report about failures would make me happy. That way, I'd know that all the ports were built against the current system, which would make me feel much safer. <mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
