At some point I imagine that bsdiff and portsnap packages will cease to be available for FreeBSD 5.4 users. That said, I don't think this will happen any time soon -- even if there are no longer packages for 5.4-STABLE, there should be packages for 5.4-RELEASE for a while yet. In any case, since `make all` takes under five seconds for each of these, I don't think the lack of packages will matter very much. Colin Percival
