First update the ports tree. portsnap fetch update When the portstree is updated READ THE UPDATING FILE in /usr/ports/ This contains some info when there is some manual interfention needed and other info regarding ports. You can see wich port can be updated with the following command. pkg version -vL = Then you can do a upgarde per port portmaster -d <portname> Or do a upgrade of all ports that needs updating portmaster -d -a Remember that if you have a lot of ports things can fail with portmaster. This is why many people use synth or poudriere to create packages form ports and install those. If you want to use synt or poudriere, then use some google foo to find some nice howto's Next time use a subject line when sending an e-mail to the list. regards, Johan
