The delay was due to the fact that we froze the ports tree at a point in the release cycle when we thought we were fairly close, source-wise. Events proved that freezing to have been premature. Nevertheless, once done, to re-freeze later on in the cycle (and thus pick up more than a month's worth of port updates) would have added at least another week to the release cycle. We're trying to get this gap to be shorter but these things are hard to predict. See http://www.freebsd.org/portmgr/qa.html for a lot more about all this. Finally, general ports issues should be discussed on freebsd-ports@ :-) mcl
