I am preparing to update a few 8.3-RELEASE machines to 8.4-RELEASE-p2 or 8.4-STABLE as well as installed ports to their latest version.
Updating sources is well documented in the Handbook but I've not been able to find a way of getting the version of the ports tree that would match a package build of either packages-8-stable or "Latest". Do I just update to the latest tree? Is there a revison level to match? I've been building all ports from source but I want to become more familar with the progress that has been made with using packages. Still, there are situations where I will want to build from source for options other than defaults. Likewise, there are instances where no packages exist for various reasons. Using packages has the potential for saving a lot of time. Any suggestions or pointers to accomplish using a tree/pkg mix would be appreciated. Thanks!
