Please stick to things > you do know. Maybe this is a translation problem, but when someone says, "My understanding is ..." that's exactly how it should be read. I'm not attempting to act as a spokesman for anything, nor did I claim to be, and I don't think anyone (including Martin) is going to mistake me for a member of portmgr. If you want to prove me wrong, get some packages up there, no one will be happier than me, since I've been looking for them for several months now. :) Doug -- Improve the effectiveness of your Internet presence with a domain name makeover! http://SupersetSolutions.com/ Computers are useless.

It depends on what you have. Say you have 8.0 i386 or even 7.2 i386. No binaries for you there then.

Say you have 8.0 i386 or even 7.2 i386. No > binaries for you there then. I have to admit, I have got an amd64. But you might be able to run the 7.1 -STABLE version with misc/compat7 installed.

RELENG_8_0 is a fixed point in time. > The 8.0 -p1 security branch will be RELENG_8_1, etc. > I do not agree on this one. RELENG_8_0 is the correct tag for following FreeBSD 8.0 with security fixes. RELENG_8_0_0_RELEASE on the other hand is fixed. RELENG_8_1 will be the branch for FreeBSD 8.1. -- chs, _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports(a)freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscribe(a)freebsd.org"

Follows logically from his concern that there are no binary packages for -STABLE. --- Gary Jennejohn _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports(a)freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscribe(a)freebsd.org" |
