Perhaps even more important to be honest? Since the quarterly packages are default nowadays, and considered more stable, then it would only make sense= to also follow the quarterly ports. Many users find them self in a mess when t= he ports and the packages are "out of sync". I was thinking of writing an example paragraph for this for the Handbook. B= ut I realized that I don't think there's any official way of doing it? There are some shell scripts on the net that does help with it, but it's not something that's shipped with FreeBSD, or something that can be installed from either ports or packages. For starters the Handbook should at least mention that there are two branch= es of both packages and ports. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
