This is documented somewhere. I believe it. I practice it. When stating that I practice it, I've been told "Nah, go ahead and track ports - just make sure you install the latest upgrade kit!" (see <URL: http://www.FreeBSD.org/ports/ > for kits for versions as old as 2.2.1!). It does say that only -stable & -current are supported. ;->If it's a really big problem, I'll bring it back until just before ;->the next release. It would be silly to ship with both a package ;->and it in the src/ tree. What happens to people who upgrade to 3.3-RELEASE over the internet, and then try and install mergemaster from ports? Do they get a copy of the ports tree as it existed for 3.3, and thus mergemaster? Or are they stuck? If the latter - that ought to be fixed! <mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
