- Handle that 6.0 also uses .tbz packages.
- Simply refer to the -STABLE/-CURRENT branches by their major number
so we don't have to update that part of the script for each release.
- 5-STABLE currently points to packages-5-current since there is no
packages-5-stable yet.
- Change the default version to 5-STABLE/i386.
CVS, and use this by default. The CVS version is still used if the
local updated version isn't readable. On www.FreeBSD.org this means
that the updated INDEX(-5) found on
http://www.FreeBSD.porg/ports/INDEX(-5) are used.
In essence this mean that this CGI script is actually useful
again since it's not returning out-of-date results.
- Disable the "new ports" HTML since it just doesn't work without
frequent INDEX versions in CVS. The support code for this isn't
removed at this to avoid breaking stuff, but should be removed
later.

slow (1000x times) with the outdated perl 5.005_03 in
FreeBSD-4.x-stable. Depending on the number of hits, the html
output should now 2-30 seconds (!) faster.
* Remove FreeBSD 4.6-RELEASE.
* s/5.0-CURRENT/5.1-CURRENT/.
* s/4.7-STABLE/4.8-STABLE/.
* Use INDEX-5 for FreeBSD 5.x releases.
* Use .tbz packages for FreeBSD 5.x releases.
* Use CVS tags to find the correct INDEX version. This also makes
maintenance of this script simpler, since it does not have to know
about release dates.
* Do not use revision / date for -STABLE and -CURRENT (HEAD will contain
the needed INDEX version).
* Fix odd link to http://www.FreeBSD.org/ports/ instead of
mailto:www@freebsd.org (this was reported some time ago on the
www@freebsd.org mailing list).

This avoid having the browser interpret <foo> as a HTML tag, which it
did for the port devel/pear-HTML_Select_Common.

* Point ftp directory associated to -STABLE to $ftproot/packages-4-stable,
instead of $ftproot/packages-4.?-stable. When this file will be forgoten to be
updated next time it will not cause big problems.
* Remove 3.5-STABLE and 3.5-RELEASE from list of releases in search criteria
since ftp.FreeBSD.org no longer carry packages for this branch
* Add 4.3-RELEASE's INDEX time specification. Now request for 4.3-RELEASE
will return 4.3-RELEASE, not default.
* Also switch default release in search criteria to -STABLE to avoid
confusion of people who usually expect more recent information on
ports available for FreeBSD. Since -RELEASE criteria means using pors/INDEX
associated with exact release people never will see for new things until
manually change -RELEASE to -STABLE.
