Folks, Let me repeat once more than if you are considering "splitting" a port up, please drop me a note. It doesn't matter whether the new one is "foo-current" or "bar-stable" or "baz5" or whatever. If there already exists a port of a different version of the same software in the ports tree, tell me first. Doing it right from the beginning is trivial -- fixing it up afterwards is virtually impossible. Satoshi
