It only tells you if a specific port has an update, but it won't tell you if the default version of a port changed. For example, when the default version of Python was changed from 2.6 to 2.7. It also won't tell you if the origin of a port doesn't exist anymore at all. Best regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH & Co. KG, Marktplatz 29, 85567 Grafing b. M.
