AFK right now but I should be able to do something with that.

The other thing you could try is run<br>
<br>
port outdated<br>
<br>
before and after running sync, and compare the results ...<br>

Depends. I work with a full git clone of the ports tree so I see that being updated and the subsequent portindex running on it.<br>

Thanks, Chris. What should I see in the output if ports were updated vs. if no changes occurred?<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
Is there any way to determine whether a run of port sync or port<br>
selfupdate actually updated any ports? Though it would be nice,<br>
I don't necessarily need to know which ports were updated, just<br>
whether or not *any* ports were updated.<br>
<br>
Thanks.<br>
