I don't see how this is connected to my question. I want people to be able to use LATEST_LINK to identify ports, e.g. apache for www/apache13, apache20 form www/apache20 and so forth. LATEST_LINK is a unique identifier, unfortunately neither recorded in the INDEX nor +CONTENTS. Also, to read it from +CONTENTS (if it were there) I'd have to know, which package is actually meant, which I don't know, because this is the information I want to find out. _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
