6-stable packages on FTP servers

Hello,

I was wondering if someone could comment on the status of package
building for 6-stable.

A look at pointyhat.freebsd.org/errorlogs/ shows:

Build logs (errors and otherwise)
Last full run on 6.x-current [i386 ([an error occurred while
processing this directive])]
Current run on 6.x-current [i386 (2006-07-25 05:29)]
Last full run on 6.x-stable with experimental port patches [i386
(2006-07-28 22:57)]
Current run on 6.x-stable with experimental port patches [i386
(2006-08-04 10:29)]

If I take a port like archivers/zip as an example,
www.freshports.org/archivers/zip shows the port was upgraded to 2.32
on 7 July 2006.

Looking at pointyhat.freebsd.org/errorlogs/i386-6-latest-logs/zip-2.31.log.bz2
I see

build started at Wed Jun 21 23:20:01 UTC 2006

which might explain why 2.31 is the newest port on the FTP servers:

ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-6-stable/All/zip-2.31.tbz

If I look at the "experimental" logs, however, I see 2.32 has been building.

pointyhat.freebsd.org/errorlogs/i386-6-exp-latest-logs/zip-2.32.log shows:

building zip-2.32 on gohan37.freebsd.org
...
build started at Sat Jul 29 07:51:57 UTC 2006

In fact, I can find the package here:

pointyhat.freebsd.org/errorlogs/i386-6-packages-latest/archivers/zip-2.32.tbz

If the port is building, why does it not appear on the FTP servers?
This is just one concrete example, not a specific problem with one
port.

Thank you,

Richard
