Well, devel/automake and devel/automake-current is what I was thinking about, and this scheme is used for ports like postfix already (although these are not to be installed at the same time). Perhaps a scheme like emacs19, emacs20, emacs21, ..., with the executables being properly named at install time? Then we could have both automake -> automake.X.Y.Z (the stable, tested, whatever you want to call it, version), and automake-VV where VV a number identifying the latest automake? -giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
