This ususally works fine, but there are some ports (top, ssh, ...), which don't compile under -RELEASE. I think the -current-ports should work under the _latest_ release and if that is not possible, there should be a flag or something which says it is impossible to compile this port under -RELEASE, perhaps with a small explanation... What do you think? Bye, Knarf -- Frank Bartels |UUCP/ZModem/Fax: + 49 89 5469593| "Captain, why not just knarf@camelot.de | http://www.camelot.de/~knarf/ | give the Borg Windows?"
