They just do not follow a release scheme at the moment.
I don't consider sticking code into a repository "developing". Release engineering is an important part of the development process and shifting this burden onto packagers, while stuffing more and more non-portable code into the repository is exactly why it's hard to find volunteers with the time and knowledge to maintain an up-to-date mplayer port. -- Mel _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
