Actually I'm talking slightly rubbish here, the tags are in the tags/* part of the repository, for example http://svn.freebsd.org/ports/tags/RELEASE_9_1_0. The branches/RELENG_9_1_0 thing is a proper branch but since there's no announcement of what it should used for I would guess it's someone's test branch. -Kimmo _______________________________________________ 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"
