This means that the time between updates is highly variable.Ones with BIG builds like chromium, libreoffice, etc. can really slow things down. Still, this is a LONG time. I have seen no update since the new xorgserver port resulted in the removal of many, many small X ports that are now consolidated into xorgserver. This also meant the rebuild a a LARGE number of ports that depend on the removed ports. I had to build over a hundred ports after this on the system where I build all ports as opposed to using packages. I'm suspicious that this lead to some problem with the package building system that is preventing the completion of an update. --=20 Kevin Oberman, Part time kid herder and retired Network Engineer E-mail: rkoberman@gmail.com PGP Fingerprint: D03FB98AFA78E3B78C1694B318AB39EF1B055683
