Hmm, I don't think I get how knowing that libfoo has bumped versions solves this. Are you saying that you run -current and sometimes go multiple days between installing prebuilt packages, but don't regularly update your source tree and rebuild (or update to a newer snapshot)? And actually, in that case, isn't learning about it from pkg_add Just Fine? You'll find out only when it matters that way. Refresh your tree and rebuild at that point, then do the pkg_add again. Done. If you set PKG_CACHE to a safe directory then it won't even have to refetch the file... Philip Guenther
