Inaccurate because the ports tree used to create the packages is typically a bit behind the current tree. What I'd like to see is a simple way to update the ports tree to match what was used to build the current packages in the repository. If you update most packages using pkg, but build a few locally, the difference in tree versions can cause problems. _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
