You can check the port version against what is installed, I am not aware of any tool providing this at this time (hey, another little project to do if nobody has done it already) All cvsup on ports does, it downloads the latest port version. This can be a new Makefile because there is a newer source code available, it might be a new patch to fit that software better into the system. > > PS: I have looked through the Handbook and found all the info on running > cvsup - but I'm not seeing "what to do next".
