  The change of status will be widely publicized on the 
  <a href=mail.html>Mailing lists</a>.
  
+ <p>
+ The current ports tree <strong>may not</strong> be used with the previous
+ release once the switch to tracking OpenBSD-current occurs.  This is due
+ to changes, typically with the port make process, that require code
+ based upon the OpenBSD-current source tree.   To get the latest version of
+ the ports tree that will work with the previous release:
+ <ul>
+ <li>Determine the cut-off date.   Example, the cut-off between 2.7 and
+     2.8 was indicated by a message to ports@openbsd.org on Aug 16, 2000.
+ <li>Check out a version of the ports tree as of the cut-off date.  The
+     steps are (assuming your ports tree came from anoncvs and live in
+     /usr/ports):
+ <pre>
+     $ cd /usr/ports
+     $ cvs -q -d anoncvs@some.anon.server:/cvs up -D 08/15/00 -Pd
+ </pre>
+     Change the name of the server and cut-off date to fit your needs.
+ </ul>
+ 
  <p>The ports tree works as a single entity. Updating a single directory is
  not guaranteed to work, as package dependencies may force you to update
  and recompile vast portions of the ports tree.
