No. FreeBSD.org stopped supporting 3.x *entirely* a little while ago, including packages and ports wise. I think it happened as soon as 4.3-RELEASE went out the door, which marked (almost) the second anniversary of 3.2-RELEASE. To have supported a branch like 3.x for 2 1/2 years, is quite a blessing IMO. -- wca To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
