In my latest cvsup the mozilla-devel port has been marked as IGNORE with a 
note about 1.6 becoming the stable release.  Technically, I'm sure this is 
true, but it's unhelpful.

Now, I can't simply use portupgrade to upgrade from 1.6a to 1.6.  Instead I 
have to de-install mozilla-devel and install mozilla.

In the future, I am assuming that there will again be devel versions of 
mozilla (1.7rc1, 1.7a or whatever).  Having installed mozilla, I will have no 
clue when a newer mozilla-devel becomes available.

Am I missing something, but couldn't the mozilla-devel port just point to the 
mozilla port while the two versions are the same?  That way upgrades with 
portupgrade continue to work as expected.

Thanks,

--Alex
