You already have (achieved this): ports is (still) not brnched as src is. We use the head of the ports tree for all branches of FreeBSD. I don't think it's true. While still on 9.1 ports, the latest entry in UPDATING was (well I lost it now) about NOV-2012. I believe the revision was also substantially lower. AS soon as I switched to head, the latest entry in UPDATING is from 6-FEB-2013 and the revision is 311942. Or maybe I misunderstood you? Anton
