The release process is stable goes to pre-release, then rc (maybe more
than one). The release is made and we go back to stable again.

I am:

FreeBSD melon.esperance-linux.co.uk 6.3-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 6.3-PRERELEASE #0: 
Thu Nov 15 16:09:06 GMT 2007     [EMAIL 
PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/MELON_UP  i386

Although, I've supped my ports since then.

I've found it pretty solid although vim crashed on me for the 1st time
in 10 years.

I've no idea whether it was because of the OS or application but it
recovered fine and hasn't crashed again.

As for xmms:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:frank/latex/misc]
$ xmms
Gdk-ERROR **: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
  serial 2423 error_code 8 request_code 72 minor_code 0
Gdk-ERROR **: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
  serial 2424 error_code 8 request_code 72 minor_code 0
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:frank/latex/misc]
$ 

I haven't really looked into it (it's got umpteen dependencies), just
rebuilt it to see if that did any good (it didn't).

Should file a pr if others are getting problems with this port too.

I just use mplayer for now.

BTW: xmms-1.2.10_10
