We must switch to 2.4; whatever breaks needs fixing, but somehow other distributions have managed and we did not and keep screwing our users missing a lot of security features. > > Please fix! > > — > Bjoern A. Zeeb "Come on. Learn, goddamn it.", WarGames, 1983 Hi Bjoern, nothing against this change, except your complain comes a little bit late. The portstree was already tagged for 9.3 some days ago so this change would be a possible issue for all users using the 9.3 packages. Before the default version can be changed a full expr. run by portmgr@ is required and all possible issues should be fixed. Unluckily we have a rolling ports tree (not like RHEL and others where such a change happens during new major releases) so there should be also a time frame to warn users about such a change. I remember endless discussions about the removal of apache13 after it was already deprecated nearly one year after upstream deprecation ... -- olli
