I'm actually more curious about the int= entions for the future, though. Are there plans to build current and/or = quarterly packages for 13.0 on a regular rotation?

I'm hoping to see current packages built for 13.0 at some point. That=20 would enable me to resume port testing on my Mac G5. --=20 Earth is a beta site.
