Recently I did the usual portupgrade and found that my 5.5-STABLE box won't compile the latest lsof. So, up until now I haven't had a problem keeping up with FreeBSD releases. Now it's starting to become a pain, especially given that my attempt to upgrade to 6.3-X failed miserably. If I use CVSup, what tag should I use to pick a viable contour? I'd like to keep the ports as new as possible w/o breaking something. Are there more fine-grained tags in the ports collection so I can downgrade one port? Right now my ports collection is busted because lsof was removed in the process and every dependency to lsof is generating a stale message for them. Thanks, -Clint
