What I'm suggesting is to rename jakarta-tomcat to jakarta-tomcat4. It saves on the bureaucracy involved when we have to do a repo-copy when we move to jakarta-tomcat5. >This is something that > I do not really agree with; repocopies are done to preserve a port's > history, and IMHO most of the Tomcat 5 port will still be based on > the Tomcat 4 one; thus, it should keep at least some of the Tomcat 4 > port history. Ergo, a repocopy *should* be done, at least IMHO :) The history is still there, it's in the tomcat3 port. tomcat4's history will still be in tomcat4 when we move to tomcat5. What you're suggesting just consumes disk-space, and doesn't gain us anything. -- Jonathan Chen | To do is to be -- Nietzsche | To be is to do -- Sartre | Scooby do be do -- Scooby To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
