[/snip] What I would like to know if there are any other versions of the ports. meaning, say eg: programA, there is version 1.0, 1.0.2, 1.1 etc.. Is there such thing as RELENG_6 RELENG_6_1 or something like this? Or is there only going to be 1 and only 1 version of ports? (I think there _is_ an option, only that I don't know. I've searched through the handbook, but I've only found references to the example ports-supfile with the "tag=.") let's take gnome as an example, there's version 2.10/2.12/2.13 etc. Do I,the user, have a choice to be able to upgrade to any of the 3 versions as I see fit? Thanks. I'll google it up when I get home to an I-net connection. -- Ow Mun Heng Gentoo/Linux on DELL D600 1.4Ghz 1.5GB RAM 98% Microsoft(tm) Free!!
