However on a stable system you are probably not upgrading your ports every day. And even if you're upgrading the ports. I'm using FreeBSD for 5 years now, and I never encountered problems caused by inaccurate commits, because most of the time those errors are fixed very quickly. Most errors I get from ports are caused by outdated dependency conflicts, not by committers or maintainers mistake. -- Jean-Baptiste Quenot aka John Banana Qwerty http://caraldi.com/jbq/ _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
