Note that if you have reason to select non-default options, you're better off building the ports locally to suit your preferences... -- -Chuck Thank you for the quick response. I have tried the portupgrade way, but unfortunately the packages lag behind ports the majority of the time. This led me to think that keeping the ports tree a little behind HEAD would be a better solution. However, I don't know how to get a hold of this lag time. Is it a few days, a few weeks or ... ?

Keeping Ports and Packages Synchronized
Hi everyone, I'm trying to find a way to keep the ports tree synchronized with that from which the latest packages in packages-6-stable were built. Is there a way to accomplish this?

If you don't mind, could you please elaborate on this? Side note: I'm asking because I would definitely be willing to contribute since this would make using ports and packages together much easier. I also think that such a configuration would be a better default for portsnap. Thank you Moody friends. Drama queens. Your life? Nope! - their life, your story. Play Sims Stories at Yahoo!

I have a lot of ports installed and it takes a lot of time to compile them. Therefore, I'm trying to use packages as much as possible. After updating the ports tree using portsnap, portupgrade looks for packages that don't exist yet. Basically, my goal is to avoid this and have the ports tree update to a state for which packages have already been built.

Keeping ports and packages synchronized
Hi everyone, I'm trying to find a way to keep the ports tree synchronized with the latest packages in order to minimize version mismatches and to allow easy mixing between them. So far I've been using a hack that does a listing of the packages-6-stable directory on the freebsd ftp, and uses the mtime of the most recent file (excluding CHECKSUM.MD5) for doing a csup checkout. Unfortunately, this seems to work seldomly. Is anyone aware of a better way to accomplish this? Thank you Moody friends. Drama queens. Your life? Nope! - their life, your story.

WITHOUT_BSDPAN Option For The perl5.8 Port?
Hi Everyone, I often find that the installed bsdpan-* pseudo-packages aren't of great use to me. Would it be possible to add a WITHOUT_BSDPAN config option for the perl5.8 port in order to neglect the installation of the BSDPAN modules? I looked at the Makefile for the port to see if I could do it myself but the BSDPAN references seem to be littered throughout, and I'm not particularly versed in the ports system to make a good attempt.
