ca27de94f5 Grrr, the path /pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-stable/packages/All doesn't 
work on ftp.freebsd.org.  Fix for the moment, by pointing to a
directory that does exist: /pub/FreeBSD/ports/packages/All.
This is still hackish though, since it doesn't work for
architectures different than i386, but unbreak the link
I messed up until I write a more verbose part.

45ba1e4cea In port upgrading FAQ: Note that pkg_version(1) in FreeBSD 5.0 and 
later does not (and will not) support the -c option.  One other minor
wording tweak while I'm here.

02c25dba99 "Fix" the FAQ so that it can deal with the concept of two "latest" 
releases of FreeBSD (at the moment, 4.7 and 5.0).

This is a hack.  It really needs to be fixed to be more generalized
and so that this concept can be used in documents other than the FAQ.

But at least for now, we don't say weird things like "5.0-RELEASE is
the latest release from the 4-STABLE branch".

ad-hoc mode.
