Why??? In case people haven't noticed this is still _BETA_ code. In fact, your commit to rename the package is bogus. Either put in a NO_LATEST, change the package name back to "isc-dhcp3". The reason I had it as "isc-dhcp3" is so people wanting to use it could easily do ``pkg_add -r isc-dhcp3''. If I knew this was going to happen, I would not have dropped maintainership. > should ports w/ multiple version be named xxx-old.version and > yyy-new.version or xxxO-old.version and xxxN.new.version ? No. Only if the there is good reason for there to exist two different versions. Take ncftp for instance. Every major version changes the interface so much, many prefer to stick with older versions. The two acrobat's are because some prefer Acroreader v3 over v4. In fact until recently, Acroreader v4 would not run on older Alphas. -- -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org) GNU is Not Unix / Linux Is Not UniX To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
