It was also a joke. I really don't know what you wanted me to answer to this mail. In pkg (like a lot of programs) there is a concept of major (currently 1), a minor (currently 15) and patch (currently 8). We do a patch release on the stable branch (1.15) each time there is some bugs fixed. If the bug isn't big we usually wait for a few of them to be fixed. When they could break anything for the user we cut a new release. We don't want to do the dance of adding patches to files or using PATCH_SITES so yes you will need to download a new tarball each time we fix bugs. If you don't want to download new tarballs don't update your ports tree, I don't know what more I can say. > ./danfe -- Emmanuel Vadot <manu@bidouilliste.com> <manu@freebsd.org>
