So now I have to keep Yet Another FreeBSD box around to keep on the release branch for a while? Most ports maintains, test and build their ports on their own desktop. Thus many are tracking -STABLE; but in your scheme either have to go off on a side branch for awhile, then return to the -current branch. That can be a alot of effort, and I don't want to cause port maintainers to spend effort that could be used elsewhere. --=20 -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org) GNU is Not Unix / Linux Is Not UniX To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
