Solved Freshports, how to install from it?

[pyc]

I must admit I sound stupid to myself but I see not straightforward way installing from Freshports. Reading FAQ, googling around, I can't solve this probably very simple task. I need to update libtorrent package, 0.13.4 is installed on my FreeBSD 10.2 i386, but I see 0.13.6 is available here: https://freshports.org/net-p2p/libtorrent/

..or maybe I'm getting it all completely wrong?

This is like trying to phone someone using the phone book, but not the phone .

You need to update the package on your system, and that step should be explained in the handbook. Otherwise, try pkg upgrade.

FreeBSD 10.2 packages are built from the quarterly branch of the ports tree which might include older versions. You can switch to the latest repository which has libtorrent 0.13.6 instead of compiling from ports. See Thread pkg-repository-changed-to-quarterly-in-10-2.52843/#post-296554. Don't forget to run pkg upgrade after setting this up.

Thanks tobik, sounds like much better thing to do than compiling...

That thread about latest packages saved me, thanks... It works.
