The documentation to which we usually refer people is pkgsrc/Packages.txt.
It's great that you want to keep us on our toes (:-)), but please
be aware that we try to be a bit conservative in pkgsrc - whilst
there are some exceptions, we usually use the most up-to-date stable
version of a package, which isn't always the most up to date. The
exceptions are the -devel packages that we occasionally have, and
maybe some of the other lesser-used ones...

Thanks,
