There are mainly 3 branches of FreeBSD to consider: -CURRENT is for developers and other contributors working on the next version of FreeBSD, -STABLE is somewhat in the middle in that it will have patches for problems that have been fixed in current and merged back to earlier release versions of code, and RELEASE.

We all had to start somewhere and granted this guy's question was a newbie one, but please get off your soapbox. It's amazing how you make no effort to help this person yet you have the time to make alot of effort to ridicule. Your entire response could have been as simple as: cd /usr/src I work with people all the time who complain that they have no time to help you yet they have all the time in the world to send a lame e-mail complaining about how they have no time to help you.

Make buildworld is how you begin a source-based upgrade to the operating system. This is completely different and separate from anything package related. You are completely on the wrong track with this. Study the Handbook some more and this may become apparent. When you refresh your ports tree (which handles dependency tracking whether you are installing from ports or using packages) you will always be looking at the latest ports/packages. This is true no matter which branch of the OS you are using. Install RELEASE, refresh your ports tree, and you will still have all the 'most current packages'. You do *NOT* need to be running - CURRENT in order to have the 'most current packages'! This still reiterates the need for you to read and study the documentation. All of this information is present in the documentation. -Mike ___ 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"
