Which is exactly the same case with you and the 8.3 EOL. If your business relies involves server maintenance, it's entirely your responsibility to track EOL. How somebody with "senior" in their job title is looking to blame everyone else for failing something so basic is rich. You say semantics isn't important? You say 8.3 isn't "old"? It may not be old compared to a dog, but it reached its published end-of-life. Any expectation you have about support after EOL where probably forged by watching Microsoft support XP. That's not the model to expect. Install some mirrors in your house. _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
