To clarify, we will be building 4.X packages as time and resources permit. Fixing problems that show up there will no longer be a high priority. As a reminder, the ports tree is not branched, so any changes to update a port will also affect 4.X, whether or not these changes are "improvements" with respect to it. As a point of curiosity, I would like to hear from some of the people in this thread who will continue to run 4.11 or 4-STABLE for a while, to find out what ports they are relying on. A note about whether you consider security updates to be a critical issue would be interesting. I will summarize to the list. Note: I am only interested in the data for machines used as servers. Workstation users only have one real choice: to upgrade to 5.5 or 6.1/6.2. Since the GNOME team no longer supports 4.X, and most desktop environments wind up using some part of GNOME, using 4.X as a desktop is no longer supported. mcl _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
