I've recently run into a new problem. Pkg_version show that there is a new version of Firefox 3.5. However, when I try to recompile it, I get an error that the system has run out of swap space, even though I allocated a 512M slice for a machine with 256M RAM. Anyway, when I used to recompile Firefox it would take over 8 hours. So I figured that I would just delete it and download the new compiled version in a package. But, the package is still not updated yet, and it's been over a week. How long does it usually take for packages to catch up to ports? P.S. I'm using FreeBSD 7.2 on an old Gateway Pentium III machine with a 40G harddrive.
