E.g. have different slave-ports for the various options currently available for lang/php5, thus requiring less effort by users to maintain their own builds, because freebsd.org could offer both packages at the same time. But wouldn't all of the current php5-extension slave-ports then need to be available in two versions, too? I'm not sure if you could use an extension built for mod_php in a php-cgi PHP... We're trying to get rid of mod_php here anyway, so the current state is good enough for me. I don't know if it's actually worth the effort. In any case, if you have more than a handfull of FreeBSD-servers and aren't happy with the pre-built packages (e.g. you are doing your own ports-building), then a tinderbox is almost a "must have". Unfortunately, people only realize this after they have a lot more than a handful of servers and then you have an almost infinite number of variations in your packages.... For me, a much more important question is: is lang/php5 going to be updated to 5.4 (and thus 5.3 disappearing) or is there going to be yet another php-port (lang/php54)? Rainer
