Thank's for your reply. For me pkgcompare script avoid to do blind pkg update everyday. I don't want to know exactly what line of code changed and I know that a recompiled package is not the same (compilation options, optimisation, ...) can change a package, Same when changing the gcc version by a better one.
I just want to know main changes or if an expected package (for me) is there an I think other people want to know that. Running this evenining give me such information. For example that firefox is updated from beta 7? to release : web/browser/firefox 43.0.0.7-2015.0.2 -> 43.0.0.99-2015.0.2 that a bind security update is here : network/dns/bind 9.9.7.3-2015.0.1 -> 9.9.8.2-2015.0.2 and so on Here are some changes since 5/12/2015 # ./pkgcompare system/management/snmp/sea/sea-config 0.5.11-2015.0.2 -> None image/library/libjpeg6 None -> 6.0.2-2015.0.2 image/library/libjpeg6-ijg None -> 6.0.2-2015.0.2 desktop/administration/nwam-manager 1.151.0-2014.1.3 -> 1.151.0-2015.0.2 desktop/remote-desktop/tigervnc 1.1.0-2015.0.1 -> 1.1.0-2015.0.2 editor/vim 7.4-2015.0.0 -> 7.4-2015.0.2 editor/vim/vim-core 7.4-2015.0.0 -> 7.4-2015.0.2 gnome/help-viewer/yelp 2.30.2-2015.0.0 -> 2.30.2-2015.0.2 image/editor/inkscape 0.48.5-2015.0.1 -> 0.48.5-2015.0.2 image/library/libjpeg 6.0.2-2013.0.0 -> 6.0.2-2015.0.2 image/library/libpng10 1.0.64-2015.0.2 -> 1.0.65-2015.0.2 image/library/libpng12 1.2.54-2015.0.2 -> 1.2.55-2015.0.2 image/library/libpng14 1.4.17-2015.0.2 -> 1.4.18-2015.0.2 library/libsndfile 1.0.25-2015.0.1 -> 1.0.25-2015.0.2 library/libxml2 2.9.2-2015.0.2 -> 2.9.3-2015.0.2 library/mpich/gcc 3.1.3-2014.1.3 -> 3.2-2015.0.2 library/python-2/libxml2-26 2.9.2-2015.0.2 -> 2.9.3-2015.0.2 library/python-2/libxml2-27 2.9.2-2015.0.2 -> 2.9.3-2015.0.2 library/python-2/tkinter-27 2.7.10-2015.0.1 -> 2.7.11-2015.0.2 network/dns/bind 9.9.7.3-2015.0.1 -> 9.9.8.2-2015.0.2 runtime/perl-516 5.16.3-2014.1.2 -> 5.16.3-2015.0.2 runtime/python-27 2.7.10-2015.0.1 -> 2.7.11-2015.0.2 runtime/python-27/tests 2.7.10-2015.0.1 -> 2.7.11-2015.0.2 system/library/flex-runtime 2.5.35-2014.0.1 -> 2.5.35-2015.0.2 web/browser/firefox 43.0.0.7-2015.0.2 -> 43.0.0.99-2015.0.2 web/data/firefox-bookmarks 43.0.0.7-2015.0.2 -> 43.0.0.99-2015.0.2 x11/server/xorg 1.14.7-2015.0.1 -> 1.14.7-2015.0.2 x11/server/xvnc 1.1.0-2015.0.1 -> 1.1.0-2015.0.2 PS.
