I have proprietary code that will not compile under 1.10.1 but does compile under 1.8.x. All three ports that depend on botan seems to work with 1.10 too so the easiest way would be to just upgrade it to 1.10 and drop 1.8, but yes, people can have code that won't upgrade as easily so it's probably safer to start with committing a separate security/botan-1.10 port and then upgrade dependencies in time (and then drop 1.8 someday). > If need be I can resubmit it as a new port, not sure if you (Lapo Luchini) want to be the maintainer for that version or not, but I am hoping that it gets included soon. Maintaining it it's fine by me, I just had a few busy days lately. :) -- Lapo Luchini - http://lapo.it/
