>Number: 119907 >Category: docs >Synopsis: Ports compatability >Confidential: no >Severity: non-critical >Priority: low >Responsible: freebsd-doc >State: open >Quarter: >Keywords: >Date-Required: >Class: doc-bug >Submitter-Id: current-users >Arrival-Date: Wed Jan 23 02:50:00 UTC 2008 >Closed-Date: >Last-Modified: >Originator: Tim Judd >Release: N/A >Organization: None >Environment: N/A >Description: The Ports ( http://www.freebsd.org/ports ) are described as having support as quoted below: "The Ports Collection supports the latest release on the FreeBSD-CURRENT and FreeBSD-STABLE branches. Older releases are not supported and may or may not work correctly with an up-to-date ports collection." By the description alone, it doesn't describe that it supports -RELEASE or -RELEASE-p# systems. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: Rephrase the above statement at the above URL to include -RELEASE systems. Maybe a phrasing similar to: "The Ports Collection supports the latest release on the FreeBSD-CURRENT, FreeBSD-STABLE branches and FreeBSD-RELEASE under the production release major versions. Older releases are not supported and may or may not work correctly with an up-to-date ports collection." >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
