- Older R14.0.x release notes.
FreeBSD Support
TDE continues to offer support for FreeBSD by providing updated "TDE port maps" data for each invidivual port and the "tde-ports-map" script used to synchronize the contents with the standard /usr/ports location. "tde-meta" port has been added to simplify building and installation of ports using the new framework: this meta port does not contain any code but depends on all ports of the TDE umbrella.
