When you say 'it saves on the repo-copy', do you mean that there should NOT be a repo-copy when we move up to Tomcat 5? 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 :) G'luck, Peter --=20 Peter Pentchev roam@ringlet.net roam@FreeBSD.org PGP key: http://people.FreeBSD.org/~roam/roam.key.asc Key fingerprint FDBA FD79 C26F 3C51 C95E DF9E ED18 B68D 1619 4553 This inert sentence is my body, but my soul is alive, dancing in the sparks= of your brain. --8/pVXlBMPtxfSuJG Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (FreeBSD) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iEYEARECAAYFAjypuzUACgkQ7Ri2jRYZRVOlZQCdGHxqoBttALUPNXANbCWMOS9C PQoAn2QgeDOWb5OJbkaxIIuvJF1cgNl5 =9W4V -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --8/pVXlBMPtxfSuJG-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
