Ron,

Firstly, as you might be aware, this is the wrong list for questions of a
technical nature. They should be posted to [email protected]

Package versions are very much dependent on the version of FreeBSD you are
running. Are you tracking -STABLE, or just using a -RELEASE?

-STABLE and -CURRENT packages are kept up to date, but -RELEASE packages
are built to be compatible with the Ports Collection that is included on
the CD. You can convince pkg-add and friends to use the -STABLE packages
but I don't honestly know how well it works.

Cheers,

David Adam
