You need to update your ports tree, which is handled separately from the base system. The simplest method is via portsnap(8) (qv http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=portsnap&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+8.2-RELEASE&format=html or http://tinyurl.com/3cr6ktw ) And then run portupgrade (or portmanager, or portmaster) to upgrade your installed ports. You can also use cvs to update your ports tree, but it occasionally presents certain difficulties. -- -- _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
