Do we record which OS we were built/installed on?

yeah, but for this, I care about the OS that base was built/installed on.

Right now, doing upgrade OS + port -f selfupdate + port upgrade outdated mostly works.

It would be nice for end users if upgrade OS + run port = port saying 'you need to selfupdate' and have users selfupdate (ideally without -f). I might try to make some time to work up a patch, but was just curious if we keep the build/install OS version for base somewhere.

I guess there was a thought a while ago to maybe have base install itself as a port (which would probably work for this?)...
