I think that ports > bundled with 4.6.2 should be more recent. The RELEASE_4_6_1 tag in /ports is indeed very similar to the RELEASE_4_6_0 tag. This is necessary because of the huge amount of effort that portmgr@ and the entire ports team put into doing quality assurance work in the month leading up to a release. We can not simply use the current head of the ports/ tree, because many important packages are not building. It usually takes us WEEKS to get a package set put together for 4.X where both KDE and GNOME fully build. The only way we can provide a package set for our 4.6.X point release is if we base it off of the 4.6 ports tree, with as few modifications as possible. The packages are all being rebuilt on 4.6.2 machines so that they are linked with the new OpenSSL libraries, etc.. You can always see the build logs for the package cluster at http://bento.FreeBSD.org. You can also read a little about the setup in the releng-packages article. - Murray To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
