Bill, I think Satoshi told _everything_ about that. When you have parallel instances of a port, i.e.: two stable versions, then you need a postgresql and postgresql7. If you have a developement version with a short live time, then you even don't need a repo copy and merge the version postgresql-devel into postgresql. But in this case it wasn't a developement version. Its simply another new mainstream version. And since we have no CVS branches in the ports collection, we have 2 ports. Look at all the netscape ports ... its the same situation there ... Finally concerning your point, that its so much work to change the dependencies in N ports from postgresql to postgresql7. Excuse me. For what purpuse do we have port maintainers ? Isn't it their task to decide, if postgresql7 is mature enough, to change the port dependency ? -- Andreas Klemm Powered by FreeBSD SMP Songs from our band >>64Bits<<............http://www.apsfilter.org/64bits.html My homepage................................ http://people.FreeBSD.ORG/~andreas Please note: Apsfilter got a NEW HOME................http://www.apsfilter.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
