The 2.1.0-RELEASE/ports directories should be FROZEN at the value they had at release time. the ports-2.1 entry can then be a tree of symbolic links for those elements that are unchanged. But if something changes, it should appear in ports-2.1 but not 2.1.0-RELEASE/ports. ---- Richard Wackerbarth rkw@dataplex.net
