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=E2=80=99t want mails with all commits to the whole ports-tree=E2=80=A6= . I run my own poudriere server and if I really need a security-update, I = copy the stuff over from my =E2=80=9Ecurrent=E2=80=9C tree that follows = head. Ideally, I would just need to run a svn update - but I=E2=80=99d like to = know in advance what has changed=E2=80=A6
