This is to point our focus to the list of problems with the ports not running on -current. Does it help? Yes and no. There are right now only 560 ports which don't build on -current, against 200 which don't build on -stable (statistics from last weekend and two months ago). The biggest problems are related to the new gcc which is more picky about C++ code and warnings in general and the new location of header-files. Solving these problems is a time-consuming and unsatisfactory[sp] task which should be done by the original authors of the software. And these things will happen faster once 5.0 is really available. I don't know until when the ports-freeze will last, it has been long enough for me. The pile of ports to update is growing and the backlog is getting bigger and bigger. And I know how these people feel right now...
