Greetings group, I'm the maintainer of the DansGuardian ports (www/dansguardian and www/dansguardian-devel). Currently, these ports track the release (2.2.x) and stable (2.4.x) series of DansGuardian. 2.2.x has been end-of-lifed (actually a few months ago), and a new devel release has been made (2.5.x). How does one move ports around? For instance, I'd like to drop support for 2.2.x, move 2.4.x to www/dansguardian and start supporting 2.5.x via www/dansguardian. Is is as simple as submitting a PR with a patch to move www/dansguardian from 2.2.x to 2.4.x, and another PR to move www/dansguardian-devel from 2.4.x to 2.5.x? Or is there another mechanism? Should I move the ports to version-based names like www/dansguardian22 and www/dansguardian24 and keep www/dansguardian-devel as the development port? How have others handled these kinds of situations? Are there guidelines posted somewhere? Didn't notice anything like this in the Porter's Handbook last time I checked, but that was several weeks/months ago, so it may have changed. Any and all comments/suggestions greatly appreciated. Please cc: me, as I am no longer subscribed to this list. Thanks.
