[snip snip] : I believe that the rational thing is to have www/mozilla track the : quarterly stable releases (1.1, 1.2, etc.) and to have a special : vendor-branch for tracking the mozilla.org long-lived 1.0.x branch, : named however everyone thinks, but www/mozilla10 seems right to me. I have to agree with Joe on this one. Using the -devel moniker gives the impression that this is an unstable release, and not the latest "stable" one to come from the mozilla camp. Historically, the ports tree versions older versions that may be needed (eg lang/python vs lang/python15 vs lang/python20). Of course we broke our own convention by having perl5.8. 8) --Jerry Open-Source software isn't a matter of life or death... ...It's much more important than that!
