Just to d one more opinion to this thread, I really agree with Julian that
there needs to be a saved quarterly and an active quarterly for exactly the
reasons he stated. the jump from quarter to quarter obviates many of the
advantages of a quarterly branch
Second, I am a bit bewildered at the people who have so much trouble with
building from ports. I use portmaster and really wish there was an option
to try to continue when a port bombs, but it works well for me. Just this
weekend I had to re-build about 90 ports and it went of without a hitch. It
is to have at least some understanding of how ports work to minimize
problems. Thing like MAKE_JOBS_UNSAFE and trying to wait a bit (a few
hours) and trying to update the sources when something fails. I do wish all
of this was better documented, though. Guess I should try doing something
about that.
