Chances are you did not need to build from source, as this is only required for 
specific reasons, like if you pick non-default variants (which the commands you 
where given do not) or if you are using a non-default installation prefix.

Re: ports that are outdated but cannot be upgraded.

2023-03-30 Thread Kenneth Wolcott
Thank you for the clarification, but I prefer building from source (I
have the M1 chip) because at least once some x86-64 port really
screwed things up for awhile (it could have been one of my many
non-forced errors :-) )
