* But from *FreeBSD Handbook*, the version number via macro is only * `__FreeBSD_version' and it was not different between 2.2-SNAP * versions. It is same number: `199512' under 2.2-SNAPSHOT series. * * >From FreeBSD handbook: 18.2.5.1. Before Starting the Port * * __FreeBSD_version values: * * * * 2.0-RELEASE: 199411 * * 2.1-current's: 199501, 199503 * * 2.0.5-RELEASE: 199504 * * 2.1.0-RELEASE: 199511 * * 2.2-current before 2.1: 199508 * * 2.2-current as 10 Jan 1996: 199512 (will certainly be bumped) BTW, I updated this recently, you can now distinguish between 2.1.5, -current before 2.1.5 and -current after 2.1.5.... * Is `ports-current' source tree only support FreeBSD-currents or * latest SNAP?? It primarily tracks the latest -current. If you can make it work with older versions, especially releases, that is great, but it is not required. For SNAPs, there is no need to attempt to support anything but the last one. (By definition, they are obsolete as soon as the new SNAP appears from the same branch. :) * And in `packages-current/All', fee program is not stayed: * `swisswatch' and `gnu-finger'. Please check it. Sorry, don't know how they slipped through. I compiled them now. Satoshi
