Portupgrade will check what you have installed against the metadata in the port directory and decide whether to upgrade or not. > sorry if these are basic questions, I'm sure that I can find all the > answers on the web but as I said before, I have to make this server > up and running in 2 days and I want at least to keep it safe... check the section in the FreeBSD handbook about keepiny your system up to date with cvsup. You should do this both for your ports collection and your source tree (to patch/upgrade it, as it is independent of the port system). Here, you will also have to decide whether to follow -STABLE or -CURRENT. Best, Beto
