I would consider it POLA if we added a warning eight months ago and removed support seven months ago. You've had eight months to update, and now, I'm adding a warning telling you that you should update, I'm even giving you the correct way to do it. | As the admin of the large pile of FreeBSD resources I should say that | it became terribly hard to upgrade ports when one uses source-based | approach with fine tuning. Sorry, can't help to mention all this. If you maintain a large pile of FreeBSD machines, you should really switch to binary packages. I know for $WORK I've gone that way, it's so much better to just run pkg upgrade, and get back a minute or two later with 200 ports updated. If the stock binary packages don't meet your needs, install ports-mgmt/poudriere on a solid box and build your own packages. Regards, --=20 Mathieu Arnold
