Is it at all possible for the ports/pkg people to QUIT DELETING STUFF! It's most disconcerting when a quarterly collection of packages disappears and one has nowhere to get new packages that match all the ones out in the field. Since 10.3 is the latest 10 release and the release_3 collection is gettign soemwhat dated, it would be nice to have a stable quarterly set to refer to that is not going to disappear in 3 months! machines get shipped.. they go to customers. They are frozen in time. If debugging requires a new package, we have to have copied the entire quarterly set "just in case". because the originals from freebsd have done a runner. Are they archived somewhere? yours grumpy p.s get off my lawn!
