huh? afaik, that tool is one of the worst hacks ever made. our pkg_add -u, on the other hand, is so good and safe these days that I consider putting it into cron (using a server I control for PKG_PATH tho) on our production servers. this has nothing to do with the question wether -current ports work on -stable system. sometimes they do, sometimes they don't our ports people don't care - because that is not supported. -- BS Web Services, http://www.bsws.de/ OpenBSD-based Webhosting, Mail Services, Managed Servers, ...
