Well. Not necessarily. In hindsight, what we should have done was to tag ports at some point and then have used that tag to build the releases as well as to build the packages during the package build. For the sake of a DP we can just let it slide for now.

Well, since I'm just using NOPORTSREADMES on Alpha, I'll build docs on Alpha. >> The docs don't >> build on sparc64 anyway w/o the binutils import. > > OK, well on that platform, that trumps our whole conversation. :-p Yeah, no docs on sparc64 for now. -- John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> <>< http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ia64" in the body of the message
