That's not it. Ports only gets frozen completely for a matter of an hour or so as part of the release process. Instead, it spends much of the period leading up to a release in "Slush" -- which is the case at the moment. Slush doesn't mean that ports stop being updated. On the contrary, there have been some twenty-odd ports updated just this morning as I can see from the cvs-ports@ mailing list. Slush does mean that changes with large scale ramifications are not permitted, so last week's perl-related updates for instance, would not be allowed right now. The portsnap thing is a real problem. No idea what or why or how long to fix, but I'd hazard a guess that the answer to the last is "by later today." Cheers, Matthew --=20 Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil.
