Not with the current ports system. See this mailing list and the archives for various solutions, such as the NetBSD approach. With the way we do things now, unless we bump shared library versions on *every* upgrade of such critical ports (and determining which ones are critical is a non-trivial, continuing process in of itself), there's no real means for handling what you need other than suitable uses of pkg_version -v at regular intervals. -aDe -- Ade Lovett, Austin, TX. ade@FreeBSD.org FreeBSD: The Power to Serve http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
