If it was real clear then I wouldn't bother asking on this list and taking your time and others. BTW the svnweb links you posted show exactly the same messages as freshports, and I didn't say that qjail doesn't have recent updates. I said that both of them have been updated recently. I read the note "This is the last version that handles both the 8.x and 9.x install media formats." but apparently understood it differently than intended. First of all, I don't know what is a media format, especially 8.x and 9.x media format. Since I don't use one my take on that was that it's not applicable to me. Since that version of qjail supports something that I don't care about, I just look at the remaining of the message, which is the same for both versions, hence the confusion. I also read the note for qjail that it "is not intended for RELEASES older than RELEASE-10.0.", which is fine since I run release 10.3. So here you go, there is qjail2 that supports some exotic media format, and qjail that supports FreeBSD RELEASE-10.0 and newer. How should I go about deciding which one to use? It would certainly help if: - the version of qjail supporting legacy systems was named qjail0 rather than qjail2 - or the version of qjail supporting FreeBSD RELEASE-10.0 was named qjail3 (or qjail4 since 4 is its minor revision now) - or/and the message for qjail2 simply stated: "This version supports FreeBSD RELEASE 8.x and 9.x. For RELEASE 10.0 and newer use qjail." Many thanks for the clarification. Grzegorz
