I believe the question relates to the new EOL policy which says: _______________ Each release is supported by the Security Officer for a limited time only. The designation and expected lifetime of all currently supported branches and their respective releases are given below. The Expected EoL (end-of-life) column indicates the earliest date on which support for that branch or release will end. Please note that these dates may be pushed back if circumstances warrant it. Older releases are not supported and users are strongly encouraged to upgrade to one of these supported releases: Branch Release Type Release Date Expected EoL stable/10 n/a n/a n/a October 31, 2018 releng/10.4 10.4-RELEASE Normal October 3, 2017 October 31, 2018 stable/11 n/a n/a n/a September 30, 2021 releng/11.2 11.2-RELEASE n/a June 28, 2018 11.3-RELEASE + 3 months ---------------- See the handbook for the full wording. This is related (in whole or part?) to the policy that the ports tree is now base on version and not release. I assumed that means ports will [should] work with any release in the same version. I can find nothing about setting IGNORE_OSVERSION in the handbook or in the pkg man page. It is not in 10.3, 11.1 or 11.2 UPDATING. I have updated a webserver running 11.1, php7, mysql56 and apache24 just replying 'y' to this message. I also would love to hear from someone who knows anything about the when and why of this. Because I use a FreeBSD workspace I will be build a set of things I used to install, e.g., mozilla.
