* I noticed, quite by accident, that the 227upgrade package (linked * from http://www.freebsd.org/ports/) was updated yesterday. I'm * wondering if there's any easy way, short of downloading and * examining/installing it, that a user can find out what the most * recent version of this package is, or when it was last changed? In * other words, how can someone know their copy is up-to-date? I used to change the ports page every time I updated it but it became too much trouble. It changes too often. You can either (1) consider it always new and fetch it from your /etc/daily, or (2) examine the timestamp or look at where the symbolic link is pointing to (it has the date in there). The timestamp is safer because I sometimes forget to change the name. Satoshi To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
