Installing port-packages is an alternate way of installing ports without having to build them: building the package on the FreeBSD build server used involved building the port. But main now has an adjusted wording that will be MFC'd to stable: -Please rebuild all installed 3rd party software (e.g., programs -installed from the ports tree) and then run +Please upgrade or rebuild all installed 3rd party software (e.g., +programs installed with pkg or from the ports tree) and then run So freebsd-update will be more explicit in the future. === Mark Millard marklmi at yahoo.com
