package generation on FreeBSD ftp server

[Rainer Hurling]

I have a question about packages at 
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/packages/ .

They are automatically generated from time to time. I understand that 
this depends on computing capacities on the server farm etc. So some 
packages are relatively new, some are older and some are missing...

For example, for math/saga there had been a package saga-2.0.4_4.tbz for 
some time. After updating SAGA GIS to version 2.0.5 there is no package 
any more.

There was an error on building math/saga in first half of september, see
http://portsmon.freebsd.org/portoverview.py?portname=saga

This was corected and the new SAGA GIS version has to differentiate 
between i386 and amd64 because of dependency libiodbc (patch problem).

Does this prevent from automatic package generation?

I would be happy if someone could give an explaination on this.

Thanks in advance,
Rainer Hurling
