I have a FreeBSD 4.10-REL system here with a still-working ports system, using the latest ports tree. Judging from your comment above, this is impossible, unless I've misunderstood you. Should ports maintainers still be encouraged to support 4.x if it is not a lot of trouble? Recently I've sent mail to two port maintainers with very minor patches to build ports on 4.x. (I do intend to upgrade to 6.x at some stage, but not until a lot of ports that I use start to fail to build, and there is no sign of that happening yet :-) Regards Andrew _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
