Frankly I find it somehow wrong that user who wants to immediately get freebsd-specific updates should use any source-control tools and compile stuff from sources. That what developers usually do, not users. Users, in their majority, do not like to build things, and that makes perfect sense. As Ubuntu user at $work, I never had to worry about how and where shall we get updates, yet the system somehow gets them, installs them, only occasionally asking for a reboot. Now, if our user is showing developer's attitude and wants to "make world", then it's fair to assume that he knows how to install things from ports, or has his own static svn client with him all the time, or mounts /usr/src over NFS -- whatever works better for him. ./danfe
