<para>I updated the sources, now how do I update my installed

</question>
<answer>
<para>Unfortunately, there is no easy way to update installed
ports. The <command>pkg_version</command> command can be used
to generate a script that will update the installed ports with
a newer version in the ports tree:</para>
<screen>&prompt.root; <userinput>pkg_version <option>-c</option> > <replaceable>/tmp/myscript</replaceable></userinput></screen>
<para>The output script <emphasis>must</emphasis> be edited by
hand before you use it. Current versions of
<command>pkg_version</command> force this by inserting an
<command>exit</command> at the beginning of the script.</para>
<para>You should save the output of the script, as it will note
packages that depend on the one that has been udpated. These
may or may not need to be updated as well. The usual case where
they need to be updated is that a shared library has changed
version numbers, so the ports that used that library need to be
rebuilt to use the new version.</para>
<para>If your system is up full time, the &man.periodic.8 system
can be used to generate a weekly list of ports that might need
updating by setting
<literal>weekly_status_pkg_enable="YES"</literal> in
<filename>/etc/periodic.conf</filename>.</para>
