Has the Mondo method made it to the official Freebsd port system
yet?
How about an status update?

Thanks.

Note that the FreeBSD support is still "beta", in a sense. It has
not been
tested extensively on 4.x, so please send any problems (with
logfiles! -
read the Mondo support page) to me. Better yet, subscribe to the
mondo-devel
mailing list & send them there.

Thanks!
