* Maybe we should start hiring people. :-) No way. We don't want to catch the Microsoft/Sunsoft/SCO virus. ;) * Sorry for the misinformation then. I guess I failed to take into * account the fact that even though you don't commit stuff onto that * *branch*, you're still #ifdef'ing things so that they work in both * environments. Is that a fair summary? Um, what branch are you talking about? The ports tree doesn't have any branches... Anyway, there haven't been many changes to the headers that makes ports not compile on 2.2.[12]R. (Most of the changes are to -current, and those are already properly #if'd out so ports work on -stable...no extra work for releases here.) The only major changes are utilities (like install-info) and .mk files, and I have packaged those up an have been offering them up as an "upgrade kit" that you can grab from the ports web page. Of course, something might have slipped past me, as I'm not test-compiling stuff on release machines, but I think we'll be seeing more bug reports in that case (like back in the 2.1.x days). Satoshi
