Due to the upcoming release of 5.0 the ports tree has been frozen for a while so very little has changed, and of the changes that have happened very little will have affected you. However the freeze was lifted today and the commiters are been busy playing catch-up right now. I imagine that once the tree calms down a little the port-managers will roll a new tarball. Give it a week or so before you start to worry :-) Kevin -- kevin@caomhin.demon.co.uk To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
