Hello Lowell,
Thanks for your reply. It appears I did not explain my issue clearly.
The idea is to have both ports and packages synced to the same
build/revision number.
To do this I first upgrade the binaries by invoking "pkg upgrade".
Then, after using a web browser to check out the appropriate beefy
server, I identify the build number of that upgrade. Finally, I
update the local ports tree by running "svnup ports -n <build#>".
When finished, the ports and packages are synced.
It is possible to identify the revision number of the ports tree by
using "svnup ports -n". But I can not find a command among the pkg
tools that provides the equivalent number by accessing local files.
Cheers ...
Marek
