The first is maintaining Makefile syntax compatibility, take a look at http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=java/106964 for example. Besides problem noted in the PR, jdk15 builds and runs tomcat5 just fine for 4-STABLE. Perphaps, RELENG_4 needs an update for its /usr/bin/make. As for important ports, there is clamav antivirus and all ports it depends on. Also Squid, MySQL server & client, net-snmp, zebra/quagga routing daemons, cvsup/cvsupd/cvsup-mirror/cvsweb etc, Apache, sudo... Security updates are, basically, the only important thing for legacy systems IMHO. Eugene Grosbein
