We won't be supporting packages under 2.1 anymore. BUT most ports will still build fine (if you are willing to build rather than install precompiled binaries). If you find something that won't build and run under 2.1.7, the ports team would be happy to accept any diffs to fix the problem (as least I would). > Is 2.2.2 substantially the same as the 2.2-stable whose > "upgrade kit" is referred to on the Ports Collection page?) At the point the 2.2.2 relase was made, it was the same as 2.2-stable. Now stable has had 1-2 weeks to move past 2.2.2. -- -- David (obrien@NUXI.com -or- obrien@FreeBSD.org)
