Old releases sometimes have extended support for security fixes only, but for ports it's only "most recent release". So 5.4 is still technically supported by ports, but that will change in a week or two when 5.5 is released. > I dont like upgrading major version every 6-12 months and I > am sure there are others as well. >=20 > So if I have this correct everytime a new major version hits release > ports may stop working for live release branches and it doesnt matter? >=20 > For example some may take the view that 6.x isnt mature enough to use > until 6.2 or 6.3, I'm not responsible for the opinions of others :-) If you don't like the support situation, consider that you're not paying for it anyway, so if you want more support than the thousands of man-hours donated to you for free by the freebsd volunteers, you can pay someone for it to your level of comfort.
