If you look at the list of problems I wrote, you'll see that the only problem with the snapshots themselves is the problem you have mentioned with trash folder (which I have not been able to reproduce), all the other have been due to practical issues and people being confused! I do know very well that it is common to split up into a -devel port. However, this is a temporary situation where we are waiting for a more stable release. There is no intention from me in keeping the ports bleeding edge (-devel status) or some such thing. > If it's possible, the ideal situation would be a port of 2000c with > patches to bring in the worst/best of their bugfixes without introducing > any new problems.

Not ideal IMO, the author(s) specifically recommends using the snapshots. Also, the 2000 versions does not have full SSL & TLS support. > I'll try to get more details about the re-appearing messages tomorrow ... > errr.. later today. Thanks. Regards, -- Anders.
