--- Comment #1 from Jack-Benny Persson <jack-be...@cyberinfo.se> ---
Information on how to follow the quarterly portstree would also be useful.
Perhaps even more important to be honest? Since the quarterly packages are
default nowadays, and considered more stable, then it would only make sense to
also follow the quarterly ports. Many users find them self in a mess when the
ports and the packages are "out of sync".

I was thinking of writing an example paragraph for this for the Handbook. But I
realized that I don't think there's any official way of doing it? There are
some shell scripts on the net that does help with it, but it's not something
that's shipped with FreeBSD, or something that can be installed from either
ports or packages.

For starters the Handbook should at least mention that there are two branches
of both packages and ports.
