I, as a port maintainer, am not too fond of maintaining a separate branch (actually, three, one for 4.10, one for 5.3, one for all three of 4-STABLE, 5-STABLE and 6-CURRENT) of the ports tree for "stable" machines. You might offer a pool of fast machines running your favorite release version to porters and committers so someone might be able to test his ports on a second machine... > I would _not_ like to see major updates be committed > there, so that this can be seen as a stable release for the ports > tree. Then see if you like OpenBSD more, it appears as though the ports tree was subject to the release cycle there, but don't quote me on that. -- Matthias Andree
