I just checked for FreeBSD and the pages our wiki links to
(http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi?query=gnustep&stype=all and
http://www.freshports.org/search.php?stype=longdescription&method=match&query=gnustep&num=10&orderby=category&orderbyupdown=asc&search=Search)
are both one version behind. Not a big difference and we just released
that version two weeks ago.
And the more official looking page
http://www.freebsd.org/ports/gnustep.html is even two releases behind.
(And why is there this inconsistency? I would expect both to be the same
page)
When I look at
http://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/mirrors/FreeBSD/ports/packages/gnustep/ I
see the same old packages.
I am not saying that any of this is a big problem for somebody just
wanting to try out GNUstep.
