Note that you'll sometimes have to wait a = little longer to get the updated packages, since the maintainer has to subm= it a compiled binary, but doesn't always do so immediately after a port is = updated. Please wrap your lines at 70 characters so your mail can be easily read. Actually, package builds are done centrally, they are not submitted by the port maintainer. Full package rebuilds are done more or less continuously, but they're only updated on the FTP site every week or two (depending on architecture, FreeBSD version and other factors like how busy I am :-) Kris --C7zPtVaVf+AK4Oqc Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE/QY5nWry0BWjoQKURAq2WAJwKyoOsFimTjvyx1wOwh1iDa60e1wCfZoo5 0kgcda/NpHSwbPonSF1KnQU= =97Aw -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --C7zPtVaVf+AK4Oqc--
