The http://www.freshports.org/ site gives a nice overview of recent port changes. It also lists the SVN revision. If you use subversion to keep your ports tree up to date you can check the state of your ports tree with; > svnlite log -r HEAD /usr/ports/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ r366459 | danilo | 2014-08-29 00:34:41 +0200 (Fri, 29 Aug 2014) | 2 lin= es - Update from 1.40.01 to 1.40.02 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ In this case my ports tree is at r366459. Generally I like to update my ports tree weekly. That *generally* makes for relatively small updates using svnlite (in the base system in FreeBSD 10) a= nd ports-mgmt/portmaster; # svnlite /usr/ports # less /usr/ports/UPDATING # portmaster -ai Reading UPDATING is important! Sometimes updates need special actions.
