Hello list, I have a question regarding the branches/tags of the ports tree for stable releases. Are they in any way maintained. For instance I would like to see security fixes and corrections like changed download URLs be committed there. I would _not_ like to see major updates be committed there, so that this can be seen as a stable release for the ports tree. Is there a policy like this for the release branches, or are they only tags that are made after the ports freeze that precedes a FreeBSD release and I have to go with the latest tree to get security fixes and corrections? At least for my servers I would prefer a maintained stable release of the ports tree. /Roman
