No, they are compiled and updated continuously.

Thanks.

I understand that the RELEASE directory contains only packages that
were compiled with a specific version was released. Can you explain
the differences between port directories for stable and current?

Will I find different packages on
/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-7-current and
/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-8-current? What about
/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-6-stable ?

I can't find this in the handbook, I apologize in case it's there
and I missed it.

Oren


Ok. I  think I just figured out that the only difference is that the 
packages were compiled against a specific version such a 7,8,stable, 
current etc... So, if a certain package is updated to a new version will 
it be compiled for all branches except for releases? How often are 
packages compiled?






In a loop, period is a couple of days to a couple of weeks depending on 
your architecture.
