Solved pkgs 10.1 vs. pkgs 10.2

[ASX]

Hi,

I have a couple of FreeBSD installations, one is updated to 10.1-p19 the other is up to 10.2-p2.

One thing I noticed is that on 10.1 pkg search libreoffice will return libreoffice-5.0.1
while on the 10.2 installation the same search will return libreoffice-4.3.7

The result is quite surprising to me. I'm relatively new to FreeBSD world, so may be I'm missing something ... but I have no idea what.

One thing I can add is that the 10.2-p2 system was originally installed as 10.1 and later upgraded to 10.2.

Any comment appreciated, thanks.

I think it based on the fact, that since FreeBSD 10.2 the packages are based on the "quarterly"-repository and in this one the "old" version of libreoffice is maintained.
