--=-exrEet/fIBU4uAlVkzvW Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable As of June 1, 2008 00:00:00 UTC, FreeBSD 5.X support in the ports tree is End Of Life. This means that a ports tree checked out after this date is not guaranteed to produce usable packages on 5.X. Additionally, 5.X package builds on the cluster will cease. Users are encouraged to upgrade to 6.3 or 7.0 if they wish to continue to track the latest ports tree. A tag, RELEASE_5_EOL, has been laid down to mark the last point in the ports tree that officially supported FreeBSD 5.X. Port Manager asks that you not rush to remove 5.X support right away as we'd like a settling-down period, and we want secteam to have a chance to make their EOL announcements as well.
