I am quite new to freebsd. I have several applications build from
the ports collection. When some port change for a new version (I
cvsup my ports collection) how do I do upgrade of that application?
Is it the same as for the first time: just go to the port I want
and then type make and make install or is there another way?
Yes, there are other ways.
The two main choices for rebuilding new ports are sysutils/
portupgrade and sysutils/portmanager. portupgrade is considered the
default or standard tool, and it works quite well for most things,
but has problems with KDE and GNOME in particular.
portmanager uses a rather different approach to handling
dependencies, which can require more compiler work, but it seems to
handles updating KDE and GNOME better than portupgrade does.
