I guess I missed it because I was looking for words instead of an icon, and I tend to browse mouseless these days so I didn't see the tooltip.

Re: Detecting updates to ports not installed
Bingo! Thanks, that's exactly what I needed. Although it took a while to figure out how to do it. Suggestion for Freshports: add an "add to watch list" button on the page for each port. This has been in place for some time. From http://www.freshports.org/faq.php : http://www.freshports.org/images/watch-add.gif "Add item to your default watch lists: This port is not on any of your default watch lists. Click this icon to add the port to your default watch lists. This icon appears only if you are logged in." Granted, you don't see this icon if you are not logged in. The system could be altered so you see this icon regardless. If clicked, and not logged in, it could prompt you to login, or register. -- Dan Langille - http://langille.org/ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Detecting updates to ports not installed
Hello fellow BSDophiles, The chromium port is trying my patience. I'm not using it now, because of its unpatched vulnerabilities. Buit I'm keeping it installed, so I'll be notified by portversion when an update comes through. Is there a more excellent way to receive the same sort of notification for a port that is not installed?
