Agreed. But in which areas would you expect there to be problems for a package that was working up date x, got security and bug fixes until date x and the actual source code of which will not change after date x? The only things that come to my mind are changes in packages it depends on or changes in the base os. _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
