[Dick Davies]

Quick heads up for any FreeBSD users on list - the
FreeBSD ports tree is being bumped to include 1.8.4
Any Day Now (it's been 1.8.2 for ages).

See below if you fancy a preview, the URL has patches you
can apply to your ports tree to try it out.

Does portupgrade with with 1.8.4? I mean all the options, not just a couple

I'll let you know tomorrow (if I still have a network).
