Hi, since I need to use some installations of FreeBSD 4 for a while I'd like to know: Is there any special tag available for checking out the last usable ports tree? By accident I discovered the tag "RELEASE_4_EOL" on some files. Is this vaild for all ports or only some (not shown in the webcvs)? Thanks, Marc

We only started to remove the 4.X support after the tag, thus you should still be able to build ports from the tag on 4.X. Regards, Gabor

Is there a way to get portsnap to downgrade the ports tree now to 4_EOL or is the best way to install cvsup and do it?
