RE: How to find our what version of ports your running?
Hmmm... Thanks for that Lowell. Yes I knew about the pkg_version cmd. I was just hoping that I had missed a command or file that explain it all. I started digging around, and found that the /usr/ports/LEGAL file has the following: # $FreeBSD: ports/LEGAL,v 1.274 2003/02/19 04:24:53 marcus Exp $ as one of the headers, so I guess, that is a rough indication of when it was compiled. Perhaps it might even roughly tie in with the FTP site iso Hmmm, just checked, and they only show 4.8 as the oldest: April 2003 So I guess, that ports version came with 4.7. Anyway, thanks everyone.

RE: How to find our what version of ports your running?
Thanks, Horio and Kris for the CVS solution. Is there a way to find out the ports version, from a CD upgrade? i.e.. initial install was 4.2 then a 4.6 upgrade, then a 4.7 and then a 4.8 upgrade. Hmm, was the ports tree upgraded along with main upgrades or not?
