There should be a fairly complete set of packages for 7.0-RELEASE. There can never be a totally complete set of packages for legal reasons - the licenses on some ports do not permit them to be packaged. >This thing should be solved.

It's just that you can't upgrade any single port without re-building everything - for reasons that have been spelled out elsewhere in this thread. FWIW, the move to versioned symbols should (in theory) remove the need to need to do a future complete recompile once you've rebuilt all your ports against 7.x. --=20 Peter Jeremy Please excuse any delays as the result of my ISP's inability to implement an MTA that is either RFC2821-compliant or matches their claimed behaviour. --sdtB3X0nJg68CQEu Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.8 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAkfjQK8ACgkQ/opHv/APuIdh7ACfS5/eeCko4Iff/LHuw5GfhS2m DdEAniSrxNz+gzo9BUrfh75Oc43uRz7l =hWUu -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --sdtB3X0nJg68CQEu--
