I would seriously dislike the idea of ports not working on current, since I run that at home. But I like ports for stable too, since I run it on cvsup.nl.freebsd.org. But that's only two releases. What about 2.1.*? Maybe, just maybe... I wouldn't mind the effort of checking the ports being laid in the hands of the porters/maintainers, but that might mean some sort of way to make sure I can work on the relevant architectures. I have current and 2.2 so that should suffice, but the others? I don't know. Mark
