hi,

i've been doing some updating locally - what is the status of
freebsd alpha packages ?

it looks like the packages-4-stable tree has been updated
recently, but i'm now quite confused as to how these things
are working for alpha and i386.

on i386 (as i was corrected some weeks ago) there is

packages-4-stable -> (symlink to) packages-4.5-release

on alpha there is

packages-4.5-release -> (symlink to) packages-4-stable


so they're exactly opposite in behaviour.


on alpha the packages-4-stable tree appears to have fixed the problems
with packages being generated into more than the All/ directory, but
there is also a packages-5-current tree there that hasn't been updated
since september 2001.. any reason for this ?

particularly since packages in the alpha ports tree points at the
packages-5-current tree (unlike i386, where it points at packages-4-stable!)


regards,

-jason
