Why is that?
The official site is offering pre-compiled versions, and is somewhat out of date for FreeBSD. The maintainer of the mail/enigmail port (ale@) does a pretty good job of keeping the FreeBSD ports tree up to date with the released sources (often trailing a few weeks for minor releases, less for major ones). _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
