packages-stable is where the up-to-date packages for 2.2-stable are kept; packages-2.2.5 is what is going into the 2.2.5 CD. * 1) What's packages-stable got that packages-2.2.5 doesn't? So, to answer your question: stuff that can't be put on the CD. (Also, the update of packages-stable is stopped in the last couple of weeks while I build the 2.2.5 packages, but it will start again soon.) * 2) I thought the ports crew had dropped support for -current, so how * come there's still a packages-current? These are old packages. David O'Brien is working on building new ones. You can delete these on your system safely now, but they may start getting updated again. * If I could lose just two of these, I might have enough space left on * my drive for the ports distfiles, which I really ought to be * distributing (because of the GPL). I thought you just needed to point the user to the "real" source (ftp.freebsd.org will do) as long as they are distributing it. Satoshihome | help
