There have always been binary packages for the -stable branches. For example check out ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/. > RELENG_8 will lift be out of binary ports, at least as far as > portupgrade is concerned. Sorry, I don't understand that sentence. > RELENG_8_0 will have emergency fixes AFAIK I'm sorry, that's not correct. RELENG_8_0 is a fixed point in time. The 8.0 -p1 security branch will be RELENG_8_1, etc. > and I was hoping that I > could run that and make portupgrade to the right thing (recognize the > binary packages a insert them appropriately). If you run a -RELEASE portupgrade will stick to the packages created for the -RELEASE, and will never change. If you intend to follow the ports tree as it updates you should really be following FreeBSD stable, and portupgrade will do the right thing. > If we have binary packages for 8-stable and/or if I can coerce > portupgrade to use 8-release packages on 8-stable that would be fine, > too. If you want 8-release packages, you don't have to do anything different, those packages will never change. hope this helps, Doug -- Improve the effectiveness of your Internet presence with a domain name makeover! http://SupersetSolutions.com/ Computers are useless.
