Common mistake not noting 8-STABLE with a revision number attached to it. Its either 8-STABLE @rNNNNNN - This could be anything from 8.0 -> now(); - or - 8.3-STABLE which designates that it is the stable branch @ or after 8.3-RELEASE I don't know why everyone needs to bikeshed this thing. But do what you must and add 's/.3//' to any conversation that mentions it. -- - (2^(N-1)) _______________________________________________ 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"
