Hello, I come from a Debian background, i normally 'apt-get update' the list of the packages that apt-get mirrors serve before 'apt-get install'ing any package. Is there anything like that while using FreeBSD ports? If no, How does ports know what are the versions of the latest packages? thanks, Sincerely, -- devnull@plugthebox.net <devnull@plugthebox.net>
