I just checked for FreeBSD and the pages our wiki links to (http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi?query=gnustep&stype=all and http://www.freshports.org/search.php?stype=longdescription&method=match&query=gnustep&num=10&orderby=category&orderbyupdown=asc&search=Search) are both one version behind. Not a big difference and we just released that version two weeks ago. And the more official looking page http://www.freebsd.org/ports/gnustep.html is even two releases behind. (And why is there this inconsistency? I would expect both to be the same page) When I look at http://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/mirrors/FreeBSD/ports/packages/gnustep/ I see the same old packages. I am not saying that any of this is a big problem for somebody just wanting to try out GNUstep. _______________________________________________ Gnustep-dev mailing list Gnustep-dev@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnustep-dev
