When I think about ".", I think about "trunk". It most likely not "trunk" (current). What version is it? Latest in "stable"? My experience is that when ftp binaries does not work the port will. PS Im using stable/Latest in PACKAGESITE.
The ports in the ports tree are version-controlled and you can use tools like ports-mgmt/portdowngrade to revert to a previous version of any particular port.
But, as Warren said, there's no branching and no distinction between CURRENT, STABLE and RELEASE. It isn't labeled as such, but there's only "CURRENT".
Ok. Is it a risk in production? I guess it has undergone inspection and test by another developer. What about other tests, like in stable and release (I'm guessing)?
No matter what, I'll still continue using the ports tree - I'm having good experience with portupgrade -P (first fetch binaries and then use ports).
