Give me a better example in why you think = this is so important =) Here is the general example: . User builds port X, which lib-depends on port Y; . User updates the ports tree and wishes to build port Z, which also lib-depends on Y; . Your way, this means, she/he has to rebuild port X too -- my way, rebuild of port X is not necessary. If changes in libx264 break things too often -- well, that may be a good reason to explicitly specify the major number fo libx264. Fine. But the port lib-depends on a dozen other ports, ALL of them with an explicit version specified. Are ALL of them breaking things? Probably not...

Thanks for confirming. = We have chosen to use foobar.[0-9], we are maintaining for this port and = we like it. So.. I am not going to change it. Your choosing the "because I said so" argument is rather unfortunate and detrimental to your credibility... -mi
