freebsd stable - Apr 2003 - Ports freeze notification

Hello,

	Is there a way to check the status of the ports tree without having to
subscribe to the ports mailing lists? I'm not interested in all the ports
chatter, just looking for a way to check if the tree is frozen, etc.

Thanks.

You can check on the Release Process pages eg.

    http://www.freebsd.org/releases/4.8R/schedule.html

or you can look at http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/ to see
if the appropriate release tag (in this case RELEASE_4_8_0) has been
laid down.

	Cheers,

	Matthew

I think that looking at release schedule pages for 4.x and 5.x may help.

http://www.freebsd.org/releases/4.8R/schedule.html
http://www.freebsd.org/releases/5.1R/schedule.html

It seems that the ports tree was unfrozen on march, 22.
