It's a volunteer effort. However, it's generally pretty good at being up-to-date. In this case, for example, the ports system has the latest official release in the "samba" port, and the most recent development release in the "samba-devel" port. The samba-devel port has often taken a couple of weeks to bring in the latest version, but that doesn't seem unreasonable. > Also why is such an old version of perl 5.003 still in the freebsd base when > 5.8 is out ? For the most obvious reason: some people still need it. _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
