Tracking commit messages from cli
Hi all With pkg_version I can easily see which installed ports has newer versions available, but what I miss is a way to see what has changed. The reason for this is that commit messages often say that only the pkg-plist has changed or something that does not make me want to update.

As I said: without having to track the whole tree. I know this would be a possibility, but would rather not use the convenience of portsnap. Also if the solution should be more usable for other people I would like it to be as simple as possible and not require so much overhead. Anyway, thanks for the answer -- maybe I'll just do that eventually. -- Med Venlig Hilsen Troels Kofoed Jacobsen ___ 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
