First Satoshi builds ALL of the ports on a weekly (I believe) basis for 3.4, 4.0, and 5.0 (3.4 testing is probably dead or on its way out relatively soon). If it doesn't build there, it's flagged as broken. How are you cvsup'ing ports (ie, what's your supfile look like)? What are you using for a ports-all tag? I run everything from 3.4 ports to 4.0 ports on a single 3.4 machine and never have trouble with a weekly CVSup. > I've not noticed as many broken ports as there are now. I have no idea what this means - what are your comparison dates? Frankly I've been using ports since 2.1.7 and the ONLY time I've had trouble w/ ports is when it was operator error. > And the quality, as of 4.0-RELEASE / -STABLE is decidedly poor. Funny I haven't noticed this or seen many complaints in -questions or other mailing lists either.
