You can learn what version of a port was added originally, when updates were made, what patches have been applied and a wealth (OK, maybe just a little) of information about the port. The web based interface to the CVS repository is available at: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi The version of BIND you were interested is available at: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/net/bind8/distinfo Best Regards, jpb ===
