Also, either there aren't enough HEAD UPs or I keep missing them. (E.g., do we have a working C++ compiler again?) I suspect that by far most port maintainers only run -STABLE and are simply unaware of the the changes happening in -CURRENT. -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber naddy@mips.inka.de To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
