With the help of jhb@, I have a port of gdb 7.1 that has been modified =
to recognize freebsd threads. I would like to get this added to the =
ports tree
but I would like some feedback as to how it should be added.

Currently, the latest version of gdb in the ports tree is 6.6 and its =
under devel/gdb66. I was thinking of adding this as gdb71 but the latest =
version of
the 7.x branch is 7.2 and someone already created a port for it =
(ports/151077) but it doesn't recognize threads.

So, for the 7 branch, would it make sense to check in version 7.1 as =
devel/gdb7 and eventually update it to 7.2, or should it be checked in =
as devel/gdb71?
