Well, what about folks running 3.0-current for SMP reasons and that have not so much ideea about UN*X/FreeBSD hacking ? By chance it happens that myself too I am in the same position... > Naturally, merging fixes to help them run on -current is desirable, as > it will make the cutover at the next major upgrade easier. Not only that, the ports should be buildable on every version of FreeBSD, if possible; it comes to my mind something like GNU's autoconfig scripts... I'd really like to see *one* single ports tree, buildable on every FreeBSD version; this might be hard, I know, but I think it well worths working on it. Ady (@warp.starnets.ro)
