I believe, the quarter-yearly „cuts“ of the ports-tree are supposed to be that.

I have no idea, however, how fast and plenty updates are coming to this branch.

I there a mailing-list only for commits to that particular branch?

I don’t want mails with all commits to the whole ports-tree….

I run my own poudriere server and if I really need a security-update, I copy the stuff over from my „current“ tree that follows head.

Ideally, I would just need to run a svn update - but I’d like to know in advance what has changed…
