ports tree not updating anymore?

[Marwan Sultan]

Good day/evening FreeBSD gurus.

Im on 12.2-R
i used to update my ports tree with portmaster -aBCd
i cannot do it anymore, it says my ports tree is up to date, but i know for a fact that its not.

pkg audit -F reports that some installed packages has a serious vulnerabilities
but portmaster and portsnap utilities says all are up to date!.

please advise what should i do to update the outdated ports and what has been changed with FreeBSD.

thank you

Compare what you have locally with what's logged recently at
<https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/log/>.

Take today's
<https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/commit/?id=6fc82805993ae6fd2687087a5fc16d6de2960334>
for example. If you run portsnap then:

grep 21.2.0 /usr/ports/games/fs2open/Makefile

– a truly up-to-date ports tree will have the string (21.2.0) in the file.

Rewind to 7th April,
<https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2021-April/293732.html>
there was an announcement of work in progress and for some time after
that, I found that things were not truly up-to-date following use of
portsnap. 17th April
<https://forums.FreeBSD.org/threads/ports-transitioned-to-git.79598/post-506904>
things seemed to be better, I have not checked since then (I now use Git
instead of portsnap).

By any chance did you miss the whole subversion to git move? The
subversion repository isn't being updated any more.
