This would be the best option, IMO. It's what I've done with my ports. The name of the program has not changed, therefore the name of the port should not change. All that has changed is the name of the source tarball. So just change the name of the distfile that gets downloaded. This is also the simplest change, for everyone involved (port maintainer, port committers, cvs repo, and users). -- Freddie Cash fcash@ocis.net
