Without looking at the port/package name or version: how can I tell the version that's in use by the currently running OS? (5.4, 5.5, 5.6 or 5.7.) I can't see anything suitably distinctive in /var/log/messages or /var/log/Xorg.0.log. With graphics/drm_info I can get, for example: %...

Is it possible to get an older version of a port? I'll explain why I need it. I built sysutils/u-boot-beaglebone and discovered an issue when I use it with BeagleBone Black. I checked the version: now it's u-boot-2019.04. However, the official FreeBSD 12.0 image for the BBB comes with...

I've been setting up a server that's been kicking my arse. It's 11.0_RELEASE-p1 and it's thrown a bunch of issues at me that I'm not happy with. nginx and Passenger still aren't working in tandem, and I'm getting nginx.pid permissions issues, even after I've chmod 755 the file. So I'm going...
