You mean like databases/jdbc-oracle8i, databases/jdbc-oracle9i, databases/mysql-connector-java, databases/postgis-jdbc and databases/postgresql-jdbc all providing Java access to their databases? I think there is a fairly clear convention here. Not to mention the recent discussion on moving ports which are not directly involved with the JDK into another main category. -- Greg Lewis Email : glewis@eyesbeyond.com Eyes Beyond Web : http://www.eyesbeyond.com Information Technology FreeBSD : glewis@FreeBSD.org
