It has a few ports that were installed back when 8.2 was new. = However, I need to add pdftk. Pkg_add did that nicely. HOwever, it = added version 1.44. The history for pdftk shows that a major problem = was fixed in 1.45 and I am encountering that problem and need to = upgrade. Portupgrade pdftk does nothing. It seems to decide that the = latest version is 1.44. However, on a 9.2 system, I get a much higher = version number. Is there any way to determine if 1.44 is the latest = version that will run with 8.2 or is there another way I need to upgrade = to ports files? Its my understanding that cvsup is no longer with us. -- Doug
