* Of all people to make this mistake. Okay, I got this old box, I need * to grab a port for it, but I need to know if I want the port from * the 2.2, 2.2.1 or 2.2.2 cdrom. Yea, I updated the box a couple times, * but it still should run any port from the correct cdrom, or for that * matter from the archives on the ftp site. And you don't even know how to figure out when the last source update was? You have a bigger problem than figuring out which CDROM you need, Rod. ;) (Hint: "sysctl kern.osreldate") Besides, the ports tree on the CDROM is not compatible with the -stable in the future (how can it be?). The compatibility goes in the opposite direction. * > Besides, if I show you a uname that says "3.0-CURRENT Fri Jan 18 * > 13:56:36 PST 1998", can you tell whether it's before or after 3.0R? * * Nope, not if Jordan insistes on continuing to equate a variable named * REVISION to a management tool called cvs and it's branch tags :-( You are missing the point. What I'm saying is that "3.0-CURRENT" is going to mean both pre- and post-3.0 release even with your proposed change. Satoshi
