Simply snarfing the newest bsd.port.mk will effectively upgrade you, for the moment. I presume eventually that a standard upgrade-your-ports-system-from-227 package will be available, courtesy asami. > Hmmm...I've been CVSUP'ing the ports collection - I don't see bsd.port.mk in src/share/mk/bsd.port.mk > there.

I guess a special collection would have to be added for bsd.port.mk. I think only jdp and asami are supposed add new collections, so don't look at me. :-) On a more practical note, the next easiest way of keeping up-to-date would be to fetch ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.ORG/pub/FreeBSD/src/share/mk/bsd.port.mk regularly. -- This .sig is not innovative, witty, or profund.
