I have tried the portupgrade way, but unfortunately the packages lag behind ports the majority of the time. This led me to think that keeping the ports tree a little behind HEAD would be a better solution. However, I don't know how to get a hold of this "lag time." Is it a few days, a few weeks or ... ? Perhaps there is a better way? ____________________________________________________________________________________ Building a website is a piece of cake. Yahoo!
