My believe - and since I'm not the one doing it, take this for what it's worth - is that ports are tested on both -STABLE and -CURRENT, but not against -RELEASE. Most will work properly against -RELEASE, but it's not supported. If you're offering to provide that support, great. Start testing them and reporting the problems. If not - well, there are lots of things that people would like to see in FreeBSD that aren't happening for lack of manpower. http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Q: How do you make the gods laugh?
