When Is The Ports Tree Going To Be Updated?

[Fleuriot Damien]

I don't get what you're trying to show here.


What commands you've run indicate that:

1/ you have an up to date ports tree
2/ one of the installed ports needs to be updated


So what ?
Just run # portmaster libreoffice


I think you might be confused, "new version available" means that you have version 1.2.3 installed and that 1.2.4 is available *from the local ports tree*.
It does not indicate that there is a newer version of a package available remotely and that you should update your ports tree.


Hope this helps.
