The main thing is to keep your ports tree synchronised with the version used for the package repository. I find that the script at https://gist.github.com/reedacartwright/8622973baf89b263a6d7 is a useful tool for this. The script hasn't been updated beyond 10.x-RELEASE so if you're running 11.x- RELEASE you need to patch the script by adding the following line: 110amd64-default) PKG_SERVER=beefy9.nyi.freebsd.org ;; If only pkg could be made to report the revision number of the ports tree it was built from we wouldn't need to hunt around for this information. -- Mike Clarke
