Well, since I have no time to fight this uphill battle I'm going to just make one post to summarize. (1) Just because the author(s) label something beta doesn't mean it's unstable. Take NFS differences in -CURRENT and -STABLE. I'd prefer the former. (2) If you're going to be a MAINTAINER and hide behind that you need to respond to PRs and e-mails from people instead of just silently ignoring them until someone decides to re-org something. (3) I (and many others...) have used the zsh-devel as our primary shell for a Real Long Time without any problems. If people are going to bitch so loudly, I'd suggest we repo-copy zsh -> zsh-stable and take what is in zsh-devel and put it into zsh. The NO_LATEST_LINK should stay with zsh-stable. -- Bill Fumerola - Network Architect Computer Horizons Corp - CVM e-mail: billf@chc-chimes.com / billf@FreeBSD.org Office: 800-252-2421 x128 / Cell: 248-761-7272 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
