Hi.

  I'm wide-dhcp ports maintainer. 

  2.2-currents was changed as follows from 960612-SNAP:

 * davidg      96/06/12 19:54:21
 * 
 *   Modified:    sys/net   if_ethersubr.c
 *                sys/netinet  if_ether.c
 *   Log:
 *   Keep ether_type in network order for BPF to be consistent with other
 *   systems.
 *   
 *   Submitted by: Ted Lemon, Matt Thomas, and others. Retrofitted for
 *                 -current by me.

  Then wide-dhcp and maybe CAP which use ether_type, can't run under
FreeBSD-currents kernel and new 2.2-SNAP.

  If I remake wide-dhcp ports collection that is support old
2.2-SNAP(960612 and older) and current/new SNAP, ports-correction's
C program must recognize miner FreeBSD version at compile time.

  But from *FreeBSD Handbook*, the version number via macro is only
`__FreeBSD_version' and it was not different between 2.2-SNAP
versions. It is same number: `199512' under 2.2-SNAPSHOT series.

>From FreeBSD handbook: 18.2.5.1.  Before Starting the Port
 *   __FreeBSD_version values:
 * 
 *        2.0-RELEASE:                    199411
 *        2.1-current's:                  199501, 199503
 *        2.0.5-RELEASE:                  199504
 *        2.1.0-RELEASE:                  199511
 *        2.2-current before 2.1:         199508
 *        2.2-current as 10 Jan 1996:     199512  (will certainly be bumped)

  Is `ports-current' source tree only support FreeBSD-currents or
latest SNAP??

----------
  And in `packages-current/All', fee program is not stayed:
`swisswatch' and `gnu-finger'. Please check it.

Thank you.
