Great! Thanks to Cyrille for coming up with the slave ports when I
only had the opportunity to moan about this, and to Nik and Murray for
getting the commits through promptly for the 4.6.2 release.
Having this package available sure makes a significant difference to those
end users trying to get by with binary packages.
Now, if I could also persuade Murray to make pkg_add -r fetch the packages
for the correct release... (See older e-mail about the releases[] array
in src/src/usr.sbin/pkg_install/add/main.c; something like the following.)
{ 430000, 430000, "/packages-4.3-release" },
{ 440000, 440000, "/packages-4.4-release" },
{ 450000, 450000, "/packages-4.5-release" },
+ { 460000, 460000, "/packages-4.6-release" }, /* XXX too late */
+ { 460003, 460003, "/packages-4.6.2-release" },
{ 300000, 399000, "/packages-3-stable" },
{ 400000, 499000, "/packages-4-stable" },
{ 510000, 599000, "/packages-5-stable" },
I'm not sure of the right numbers for packages-5.0-dp1, which should also
be in there, and I don't think this table does the right thing for security
patch branches (you want to pick up, e.g. 4.6 packages for versions 460001
and 460002). And why 499000 rather than 499999, etc...?
Cheers,
Mark.
