But, on the other hand, hmm, aren't we comparing versions of an apple and of an orange here? I think we already had this discussion. neon26 and neon28 are two different ports (and packages). Yes, they happen to share "neon" in their names, moreover, they happen to actually be the same software. But still they are two distinct port. E.g. what if I used portupgrade -o to switch between devel/fam and devel/gamin. Anyway, I think you nailed it: "neon" vs "neon26" was the real original issue. -- Andriy Gapon
