I want to use the > stable version. There is no 'stable' branch in the ports equivalent to the stable branches in base. There's current, which is what portsnap gets you, and there are the quarterly branches which portsnap doesn't understand at all= =2E If you want to track a quarterly branch then use svn(1) to check out the code: # cd /usr # svn co https://svn.freebsd.org/ports/branches/2017Q3 ports Then you can just 'svn up' periodically to pull in any updates. Except that svn(1) is not in the base system, so you'll need to install it from ports... To solve this chicken-and-egg problem, just install svn using packages: # pkg install subversion The default pkg(8) configuration will use the latest quarterly branch.
