What was the reason for adding new port instead of updating existing? Yes, it is a newer version. The old port is stable, mature and very functionally different (the old one is a big GUI mono port with java dependency VS new one splitted to command line only and graphics UI with java dependency ports; the old port bandles all needed infrastructure in binary form VS new port uses existing ports to run-time use, ex. avr-gcc, avr-binutild, avrdude, etc.; several new ports have been created for the sake of the new port). When the new port stabilises the old one may be removed. So maintainers (of the old port and the new one) decided that that's the best plan. -- WBR, Boris Samorodov (bsam) FreeBSD Committer, http://www.FreeBSD.org The Power To Serve
