You can, but the tags have a different format from the source tags. Ports tags for releases are along the lines of RELEASE_X_Y_Z_SOMETHING (it's a big long string) or FREEBSD_X_Y_Z_RELEASE or something like that. They're not advertised, but they are there. -- Freddie Cash fjwc...@gmail.com _______________________________________________ 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"
