just curious about how -release, -stable and -current operate wrt ports. More just a desire to confirm my understanding is correct... I suppose that there are 2 port trees, -stable and -current?, so the shifting target that is ports is relevent to whichever branch you have. alternately, there is just "ports" and the branch you have is a compile time variable... how far can one be from the most recent -stable and still expect ports to work? -- Dr Paul van den Bergen Centre for Advanced Internet Architectures caia.swin.edu.au pvandenbergen@swin.edu.au IM:bulwynkl2002 "And some run up hill and down dale, knapping the chucky stones to pieces wi' hammers, like so many road makers run daft.
