If you are not running -current, you can pretty much ignore these packages for 4.0. I'm not sure when it is decided to branch current into a new stable branch (i.e., we get 4.0-stable and 5.0-current), but at that time we'll get 4.0-release, 4.1-release, etc. If you really want to know, Jordan K. Hubbard might know, but even he might not know when 4.0-stable will arrive. I suspect you don't really need to know anyway. -- Ben Smithurst | PGP: 0x99392F7D ben@scientia.demon.co.uk | key available from keyservers and | ben+pgp@scientia.demon.co.uk To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
