AFAIK, STABLE gets updated every 2 = weeks but not every day, and it seems to be that because of the = intrusion, it has not been updated for long. The versions of the ports = that come with the 9.1-RELEASE are even slightly newer than those of = 9-STABLE packages. I think if I don't get the revision number from which = the 9-STABLE was updated last time I'll use the ports tree that comes = with 9.1-RELEASE. I hope it won't cause much version incompatibilities. I'm not sure where you're getting your 9-STABLE ports from, Jeff. In the SVN repository I only see release tags and HEAD: http://svn.freebsd.org/ports/ I also second Gilbert's advice about using HEAD for your ports tree, we = do this here in production with over 50 boxes and have had no problems = so far. If you still want to use the branch from 9.1-RELEASE, it's here: svn://svn.freebsd.org/ports/tags/RELEASE_9_1_0/ Note that, unless I'm wrong, you will not be getting *ANY* update to the = ports tree then, it's frozen. This means no security updates and all, AFAICT.
