Hi,

since I need to use some installations of FreeBSD 4 for a while I'd like
to know:

Is there any special tag available for checking out the last usable
ports tree?

By accident I discovered the tag RELEASE_4_EOL on some files. Is this
vaild for all ports or only some (not shown in the webcvs)?

Thanks,
Marc

  

Hello Marc,

RELEASE_4_EOL is the tag where the 4.X support was not yet removed. We 
only started to remove the 4.X support after the tag, thus you should 
still be able to build ports from the tag on 4.X.


Regards,
Gabor

My installations use portsnap and so automatically went past the  
correct tag. Is there a way to get portsnap to downgrade the ports  
tree now to 4_EOL or is the best way to install cvsup and do it?

See the cvsup faq for how to adopt an existing ports tree.  Or just
delete and check out from scratch if you can't get this to work for
you :)
