The INDEX file that's based on is always horribly out of date. Try http://www.freshports.org/, which lists: apache2 2.0.35 www Version 2 of the extremely popular Apache http server Maintained by: perky@fallin.lv Description : Changes : Download Port : Homepage And tracks each cvs commit to the ports tree.

The ports tree is about 60-70MB. I'm sure you can spare that much space on at least one machine. > Our production servers don't run CVSup to avoid instability. cvsup is unstable? Since when? I'm sure sticking with Apache 2.0.28_4 for months longer than you need to (.31 has been out for ages, never mind .35 :) is more unstable than having a recent checkout of the ports tree on at least one machine so you can build packages yourself. -- Thomas 'Freaky' Hurst - freaky@aagh.net - http://www.aagh.net/ - It was one of those perfect summer days -- the sun was shining, a breeze was blowing, the birds were singing, and the lawn mower was broken ... -- James Dent To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
