As previously announced, FreeBSD 4.x has now reached its end of life and is no longer supported in the ports collection (or by the security officer for security fixes).
I have tagged the ports collection with the RELEASE_4_EOL tag to provide a "last known good" tree as a convenience to those remaining users who intend to self-support their own 4.x installations. I will also be starting one final 4.x package build against this tag for upload to the FTP servers; after this no further 4.x package builds are planned. Now that 4.x is unsupported we will begin to remove the legacy support code that has been accumulating for the past 7+ years and complicating certain aspects of the ports tree. This means that in the near future the ports tree will definitely become broken on 4.x and older systems. Therefore maintainers are also no longer required to provide any form of support for running their ports on FreeBSD 4.x, and may also remove any legacy support code at their convenience. RIP FreeBSD 4.x, you have served us well! Kris
