Now that there is portupgrade it is so much easier to update ports and packages that the make buildworld etc cycle for base system updates seems even more painful. Having just done two rebuilds for recent OpenSSL and sendmail vulnerabilities, I was surprised to discover that building the port of apache13-modssl required the build of a port version of OpenSSL when I had the most updated (4.7) base system with OpenSSL in it!. I hate having two versions installed; it makes me fear that there will be problems caused by the wrong version being used.
