Re: Is there a stable ports tree?
I like this idea. It's not fun when you try to update your system, then have to spend time fixing things. On 3/15/06, Jason C.

No. However you can sup the ports tree for a specific release. I run ports using tag=RELEASE_6_0_0. The reason I do this is that I find it to be much less work. I am a much more conservative user than many. I really hate chasing down down upgrade dependencies even with the the very nice ports tools we have today. If you really wanted a particular port to be updgraded, you can fetch just that one port and build it. This would give you a manually controlled psuedo-stable. It would be more work though.

Is there a stable ports tree?
Is there a stable ports tree? I think I read somewhere that RELEASE/STABLE/SECURITY/CURRENT is for the core OS, and that the ports tree is always CURRENT. Is this true? I would like to be able to update my ports with the best chance of not hitting any snags, so I was curious. thx! ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
