(this has nothing to do with CVS, but more in the naming of these ports) That notion of using "-latest" in the name was kind of a pain. In hindsight I think it would have been better to have just called it what it was: "db33" instead of "db3-latest" (and "db3" should have been "db32"). I think this new port should be called "db40" because somewhere down the road, there'll probably be a 4.1 version, that'll be different enough that we have to keep the 4.0 version around for some ports for a while (like we did with DB 3.2 because of things like cyrus-imap) - and rather than have a "db4-latest", just have a "db41" (and "db42" and "db43" and so on). Getting rid of the old ports when they're no longer dependencies for other ports. Barry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
