'Latest' packages are built for each updated port + OS version +
architecture combination whenever resources are available on the build
cluster. Typically that implies a delay of a few days or a week or so
after the update hits the ports CVS. Yes, if you install the latest
pkgs everything should still remain consistent -- but that means you
should install all of the available updates: picking and choosing is the
route to tears before bedtime[*].
For my part, I plan to update all. I have decided over the years that
letting the FreeBSD project manage my ports versions for me is the way
to happiness. Roll-your-own is a thing of my past.
That said, updating onesy-twosy has only caused me a manageable amount
of grief. The problem is the timing. It is always before bed, or
before my paper is due, and openoffice is griping about something do
with java and java is now done differently than it has been... Like I
said, updating onesy-twosy can be a serious PITA.
Later,
Jason
