Only with a later release tag (RELASE_6_3_0), you know I won't upgrade  
ports on a productive system apart from upgrading the base system as  
this can cause tremendous problems and might break other things  
running on the machine.

It has been built, but the next FreeBSD release and higher cope it  
anyways. I think it's better to some day upgrade new.elego.de to  
FreeBSD 7 in order to have more current package versions.

But we could probably move the FreeBSD-targeted cm3 regression tests  
from new.elego.de to willow.elego.de, which can be more easily  
upgraded to FreeBSD 7. Stupidly this would cause trouble in the  
tinderbox view, when a new hostname would appear.

Cheers,

Ronny
