It doesn't look like it. From http://www.nl.freebsd.org/releases/7.4R/announce.html: "This will be the last release from the 7-STABLE branch." 7.4 is listed as a "legacy" release of the FreeBSD homepage. The only upcoming release listed is 9.1 somewhere this year. > > Portmaster will first recurse through the port and all of its dependencies > > (if any) to handle any port OPTIONS via the 'make config' interface, > > before going off on the big build. > > > one thing ive been doing is de-selection most of the > options.. the box is my server. we [freebsders] have lost > the desktop 'market' .... My desktop and laptop beg to differ. :-) UNIX is a toolbox, not an appliance. So it was never meant for the "desktop market". But that doesn't mean it cannot be used as such.
