>+
>+	<answer>
>+	  <para>Unfortunately, there is no easy way to udpate
>+	  installed ports. The <command>pkg_version(1)</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>
