I believe Joe already answered that :) 'Until 5.0-RELEASE comes out...' When the ports tree was first tagged for 5.0-RELEASE on January 3rd, the portmgr team announced a partial thaw, but asked that large and important collections of ports not be updated until 5.0-RELEASE is *really* out. Apparently Joe considers Mozilla and the related ports to be such large and important collections, especially if the Mozilla update depends on updates to various other Gtk and GNOME ports - in the thaw announcement, the portmgr team explicitly mentioned KDE and GNOME as examples of groups of ports that should not really be updated unless absolutely necessary. So... unfortunately, it seems that Mozilla-1.2.1 does not have much chance of making it into 5.0-RELEASE, but it will be available very shortly afterwards. Of course, take all of this with a big lump of salt: I am not on either the portmgr or the freebsd-gnome teams, merely expressing my reading of Joe's and portmgr's announcements :) G'luck, Peter --=20 Peter Pentchev roam@ringlet.net roam@FreeBSD.org PGP key: http://people.FreeBSD.org/~roam/roam.key.asc Key fingerprint FDBA FD79 C26F 3C51 C95E DF9E ED18 B68D 1619 4553 This sentence contradicts itself - or rather - well, no, actually it doesn'= t! --BOKacYhQ+x31HxR3 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE+Ho6G7Ri2jRYZRVMRAhEIAKCDF4Zf1dEGnpEPKPmaYksERX7zQQCgv0hL mf0I/fDznGKBFi4Qi9I06gI= =tFZ6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --BOKacYhQ+x31HxR3-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
