| Hi,
| 
| I've just upgraded to RELENG_4_4 from RELENG_4_3 and found the
| pkg_version utility.
| 
| I've been using this to track package versions since upgrading (after editing
| the script to reference the master INDEX file for ports-current).
| 
| Concerned that new package versions didn't appear to be coming, I visited
| the ports section of the FreeBSD web site and found that some of my
| packages were several weeks out of date.

You can always rebuild the index by typing:

# cd /usr/ports && make index

(note: this might take a bit)

| 
| Is the master INDEX file not being updated on a regular basis for some
| reason?

I'd guess that Satoshi is just busy lately.

-pete
