Hi-

Is the packaging scheme smart enough to tell if I have a suitable OS revision 
for being able to use a particular package? For instance, if I go grab 
ftp.freebsd.org:/pub/FreeBSD/packages/All/zsh-2.6b10.tgz and am able to 
successfully pkg_add it, should I expect that it will work properly? I'm 
running 2.0.5-RELEASE from CD. Or should I just go grab sources & build for 
myself? Or should I just be patient and wait for the 2.1 CD?

Thanx,
