Hi all With pkg_version I can easily see which installed ports has newer versions available, but what I miss is a way to see what has changed. The reason for this is that commit messages often say that only the pkg-plist has changed or something that does not make me want to update. Right now I'm reading the commit messages from the cvs web frontend, but it would be awesome with a program that could say: gd-2.0.35_1,1 < needs updating (index has 2.0.35_2,1) Commit messages between the versions: blah blah blah blah ... ... ... I know freshports exist, but I would rather not have to open a web browser. Does such a program exist or do I have to write my own. In the latter case can anyone point me to an easy way to get raw-text versions of commit messages without having to track the whole tree. Does freshports e.g. have an api -- it has all the necessary information, just not available in a suitable form (to my knowledge) Best regards Troels Kofoed Jacobsen
