I upgraded my ports tree with cvsup using "." for the release so I would get the latest ports. pkg_add -r downloads packages from freebsd-release-4.9 and portupgrade -aPPR fails because it tries to download packages with version numbers matching the ports tree from the freebsd-release-4.9 directory. Compiling from ports give up to date software. I know that ports only supports freebsd-stable and freebsd- current, so is this what should be happening? Or should pkg_add -r be in synch with ports. Is it possible to use freebsd stable packages on freebsd-4.9, or do I need to always compile from ports?
