Solved Is there any delay between port update and update at freebsd.org/ports/ and freshports.org?

[vasili111]

I searched for 1-2 days ago for LibreOffice 5 at freebsd.org/ports/ and freshports.org and did not found it. But now I found it and commit history at freshports.org/editors/libreoffice/ says that port was updated to version 5.0.1 at "01 Sep 2015 21:26:45".
My question is: Is there any delay between actual port update and information update about that port at FreeBSD.org/ports/ and freshports.org?

dvl@, one of the creators of FreshPorts, knows how things work on that site.

I've found the updates on freshports.org to be rather quick but you shouldn't treat it as official information because the site is a private project of Dan Langille (dvl@). If you want really up to date information about ports you have to follow the SVN Web of FreeBSD at https://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head.

FreshPorts updates based on the commits. The time between the commit occurring and FreshPorts displaying that commit is usually less than a few minutes.

Case in point, the commit occurred at 2015-09-01 21:26:45+00 and was added to the FreshPorts website at 2015-09-01 21:27:33.232405+00 (roughly 48 seconds later).

By 'searched for', do you mean you looked at http://www.freshports.org/editors/libreoffice/ and did not see Version 5.0 there?

I searched freshports.org and freebsd.org/ports/ in search field for "libreoffice" and in results only get version that was something like 4.x.x.. but not 5.x.x.

Perhaps incorrect browser caching? Those results are not cached by FreshPorts.

Good point. It can be problem with browser caching.
Thank you for help.
