i use the packages collection alot
(for various reasons - as opposed to ports)

and am wondering why the packages never seem to
mirror the ports collection after a new release.

for example, in the 4.0-RELEASE,
the following packages do not exist,
even though the ports do.

ircii-4.4S
lynx (of any kind)
pgp 2.6.2 (and rsaref)
ghostscript-6.01

i mean, these aren't "trivial" packages.
can some mechamism be installed so that
the packages collection remains as complete
as the ports collection?

is it OK to use 3.4 packages with 4.0?

thanks, please reply off list as well ...
