We are trying to move away from the version number in the ports unless its something like X where the major version changes once every few years. Atleast that's what I heard last. Maybe there needs to be something about this put into the porters handbook so we don't have any confusion about this in the future. > I feel that the -devel model _can_ track the upcoming Mozilla releases, > while giving users a choice as to which version to run.

Maybe calling it -current for those who get confused by -devel might be better, but I don't have a problem with what you did. -- David W.
