Greetings,

I'm working on an update for my xgs port but I wanted to get 
something cleared up about the versions available before I submit.

The xgs release comes in two packages. First is a stable release, which is 
version 0.40 (currently in the ports collection) and the second is 0.48, 
which is a test release.  According to my interpretation of the 
"ports instructions" in the handbook, we should have two separate 
ports here. But what directory names should I give them?? 

Stable = xgs and Beta = xgs-0.48b  ???

It's so simple I feel stupid asking. ;-)

Thanks, Joel...
