pkg_version says my ports need to be updated?
Clearly, I'm doing something wrong. :-) I thought I was using svn to keep my ports, src and docs up to date, but pkg_version seems to disagree. I'm running 9.1 and I've installed ports, src, and docs as part of my install. After that, I use subversion to (I thought) make sure everything was up to date. I ran these commands: /usr/local/bin/svn up /usr/src /usr/local/bin/svn up /usr/ports /usr/local/bin/svn up /usr/doc and then I ran: pkg_version -vIL = and it says needs updating (index has ...) on about 1 dozen items. So my index is out of sync with my ports??? What did I screw up and how do I correct it? Thank you!

So my index is out of sync with my ports??? You updated the source code for the base system, and the ports tree (instructions for building and installing packages from source). You updated neither the base system nor the installed packages.

You seem to have updated the ports tree, which is a collection of recipes for how to build ported software, but not actually updated by rebuilding any of the ported software that has become out of date. Try installing ports-mgmt/portmaster and then running portmaster -a Cheers, Matthew -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil.

Re: pkg_version says my ports need to be updated?
Thank you both! Since I want to know the correct way (or one of I'm sure many correct ways) of initially installing the OS and then getting it up to date (and staying up to date), can you tell me what I did wrong and/or what I might want to do differently?
