I have no idea, however, how fast and plenty updates are coming to this branch. I there a mailing-list only for commits to that particular branch? I don’t want mails with all commits to the whole ports-tree…. I run my own poudriere server and if I really need a security-update, I copy the stuff over from my „current“ tree that follows head. Ideally, I would just need to run a svn update - but I’d like to know in advance what has changed…
