The stable version is 1.0.0. That's ok, but what I'm thinking is, what do we do when it becomes stable? We can't repository copy it back to "xchat", since it already exists. The way it works for most ports is (1) foo version X is committed as "foo" (2) foo version Y comes out, repository copy from foo -> fooY (3) foo version Y becomes stable, "foo" is cvs removed leaving only fooY (4) foo version Z comes out, repository copy from fooY -> fooZ (5) foo version Z becomes stable, "fooY" is cvs removed leaving only fooZ and so on. That way we'll always have a complete history somewhere. * I don't know that it'll replace the current xchat port.. I mean, when * it gets to 1.1.10, 1.2.0 will probably become the stable version, and * 1.3.x the development tree (if they use their current version * numbering). Am I making sense with any of this? Are they using odd/even numbers to denote development/stable? Are both versions updated in parallel or does only the development version move? -PW To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
