Hi Baptiste, this is awesome news. I think this is very good process. I got a question. From which FreeBSD branch is the latest and quarterly build? Since it can be affected by such things as update to new xorg when default in stable/10, etc. Because if the base is stable/10 it should be clear for users or release/10.0 that quarterly/latest is not safe to use. Or when it is from release/10.0, what happened when there will be release/10.1? Anyway thanks a lot, Robert.

From which FreeBSD branch is the latest and quarterly | build? latest is built from head, quarterly is built from the latest quarterly branch, actually 2014Q2. Or are you talking about src and not ports ? If this is the case, packages are built using the oldest supported release on each branch, so, that will be 8.3 up until the end of April and then 8.4 for the 8 branch, 9.1 for the 9 branch, 10.0 for the 10 branch, and for -CURRENT, it is updated something like every couple of weeks. -- Mathieu Arnold
