This approach is not very popular. An RC release is fine, but if you want to test builds right from a repository, you are well advised to create snapshots, package them and base your ports on these. An example for this is the games/ioquake3-devel port: ftp://deponie.yamagi.org/freebsd/distfiles/ioquake3/ I update that whenever significant changes occur on SVN. -- A: Because it fouls the order in which people normally read text.
