Yes, we need this, but lets stop breaking things. php54 broke things (still not fixed, pr's still in GNATS for this) png update broke things (still not fixed, pr's still in GNATS. and its not even Monday in most of the world yet) optionsng should have been 100% upward compatible. you should not be forced to an an emergency update of a port you maintain just because the ports tree broke things. -- Michael Scheidell, CTO >*| * SECNAP Network Security Corporation d: +1.561.948.2259 w: http://people.freebsd.org/~scheidell
