hi there,
just in case port people haven't read this:
http://www.softwareinreview.com/cms/content/view/35/1/
the important section:
So I go to /usr/ports/editors/vim and when I run make install
clean, a package is downloaded instead of compiling it from
source; if a package isn't available, Ports goes ahead with the
compilation. I also tried out the new update option, but being
so close to the release, no updated packages were found. Just to
see what would happen, I substituted a 3.8 package directory for
a 3.9 installation. The result was that many of the packages
showed upgrades which were really downgrades to 3.8 packages. I
suspect that is a bug -- package upgrade tools should only
recognize higher versions as upgrades, and there should be some
effort to verify that the source directory contains viable and
up-to-date packages.

do not tell big lies. small ones can be just as effective.
