I noticed only recently that there are now packages on FTP in a folder
called packages-8-stable. I am not sure how often these are built. I
expect that the entire ports tree is built much like it is during a
release, except at some later point in time. I would expect that those
ports are all "dependency consistent" with each other to the maximum
extent possible.
I also prefer packages to ports, but there are a few updates to ports
that I want now (xorg, xfce, rhythmbox), but I really don't want to try
9.0 when it becomes a release.
I plan to upgrade my packages to 8-stable from this directory in a
couple weeks. Maybe this policy will work for you.
Later,
Jason
