It has been brought to my attention by that I did a bad thing with the recent Mozilla changes. I realized I didn't give much notice to ports@ about this change, and I apologize. I did clear things with portmgr@, though before the change. My question is this: would it be better to leave things the way they are, have www/mozilla track the quarterly stable releases, and have www/mozilla-devel track the _latest_ release (e.g. 1.1)? Or, would it be better to do things like the way gcc does it? For example, create a www/mozilla10, www/mozilla11, etc.? I feel that the -devel model _can_ track the upcoming Mozilla releases, while giving users a choice as to which version to run. However, since I didn't ask before, I thought I'd solicit some feedback before the 4.7 ports freeze. I don't want to start a flame war or a long meandering thread. I want some honest feedback short and to the point. Thanks. Joe To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
