I'm going to deprecate and remove in three months some of them (those that don't have infrastructure ports): . linux_base-fc6; . linux_base-f7; . linux_base-f9. That will leave: . linux fc4 ports (defaults at 6.x, 7.x); . linux f8 ports (non-defaults for 7.x); . linux f10 ports (defaults for 9.x, 8.x and non-defaults for 7.x). Actually I'd like to deprecate all linux f8 ports (say, for 12 months). Seems like f10 ports is a way to go for 7.x. Opinions, suggestions and thoughts are welcome. Thanks. -- WBR, Boris Samorodov (bsam) Research Engineer, http://www.ipt.ru Telephone & Internet SP FreeBSD Committer, http://www.FreeBSD.org The Power To Serve
