I just know that this is somewhere in the FreeBSD Handbook.
And I probably deserve the scorn and snickers these questions will get.
I just checked the .ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/ site
and saw:
packages-8-stable
<ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-8-stable/>
10/11/12 00:00:00
packages-8.3-release
<ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-8.3-release/>
03/28/12 00:00:00
packages-8.4-release
<ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-8.4-release/>
05/09/13 05:06:00
packages-9-current
<ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-9-current>
12/09/11 00:00:00
packages-9-stable
<ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-9-stable/>
04/16/13 15:20:00
packages-9.1-release
<ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-9.1-release/>
04/11/13 03:29:00
packages-stable
<ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-stable>
11/07/11 00:00:00
I noted that the dates on the some of the packages in packages-8-stable
were 2012, while most of those in packages-8.4.-release were much newer
- 2013.
And I noticed that there was no 'packages-8-current' directory.
Questions: what is the relationship between the 'stable', 'release',
and 'current' versions?
And where is this documented in the FreeBSD Handbook?
Is there supposed to be a 'packages-8-current' directory?
OK, start the snickers and humiliation :-) ...
