All, A few quick question about the ports collection 1) As ports get updated, is there anyway to automatically find out which ports I have installed, which are no longer "current", and update them behind the scenes. I guess I could write a perl script to look at pkg_info and then at what's in /usr/ports, but that seems really clunky... 2) When ports are updated, do their README files get updated also? I ask this because mutt & gnome both had the old release in the README files, but the md5 file referenced the "new" versions thanks in advance, Regards, Francis To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
