The issues I said I had with 6 are those reported by others before. (Thanks Jose for the pointer to the existing PR). Namely, opera keeps hanging on "Sending request to ...". Sometimes it displays something like 99% of the page loaded (in the lower panel) but 0 images, and doesn't even attempt to display the page. This is less of an issue with local pages (in our intranet) or with pages that have already been visited. | | > Having /usr/ports/www/linux-opera5 and /usr/ports/www/linux-opera6 | > would be the solution.

I'm not trying to force anyone onto my solution. I would be interested in hearing pros and cons about having a single port with the latest version and multiple entries in the port hierarchy pointing to different versions. You know, for quite some time Netscape 6 (and mozilla also) was overkill for me. Too much time to load itself and it was just not adequeate to my setup and hardware. Netscape 4 was OK. So I always congratulated the ports system for carrying also old (but usable) versions of browsers. I don't think this applies well to other ports categories. Browsers and office packages are real candidates. But again, I'd like to hear what other people think on this ... Fernan PS: we can have a plain 'opera' port for the latest stable version, and then if you or others want to add a port for the latest betas, then we can have opera6, opera7, operaZ. That way it is clear what is a stable version and what is beta ... To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
