It's now more than 10 days. Are ports stable now?

Thanks

In short, sorry... nope (there's still some ways to go on updating
packages -- porters have hit some snags with updating graphics/png,
zlib in base and lang/php5, mostly -- there's still xorg, gnome, and
kde to go...).

Honestly, apart from the zlib and png upgrades, there's been little
churn though for me (XFCE4 user), and I still update without much
issue on a periodic basis every week.

HTH,
-Garrett

As written in my previous two or three mails on the subject, for now
yes.

Xorg is in the second phase of testing, and the rest are waitgin for
it. I can't give a firm ETA yet.

Ok! Thank you. I'll keep on waiting then. I'm also using XFCE and it's
running fine. After having been through a lot of rebuilding of ports and
the problems that might turn up, I feel it's safer to wait until someone
gives the go ahead :-)

A switch to use newer GMP version has been committed.

Unfortunately lang/ghc and dependent ports (and possibly
lang/gnat-gcc44) were broken by this. The brokenness wasn't detected in
our -exp run because of being masked by other issues.

It will take a few days to fix lang/ghc.

I'm still investigating lang/gnat-gcc44.


As a workaround, keep your old gmp library
in /usr/local/lib/compat/pkg; both portmaster and portupdate have an
option for this.


X11 is still in work, the other are waiting for it.
