IMHO this contradicts our use of "-devel" suffix for ports, which is commonly used to denote "development, unstable version", quite contrary to Linux distros, where "*-devel" packages usually contain headers and static libs. In Linux world, our "mozilla-headers" port is likely to be called "mozilla-devel" or something of that kind. How about "gnome2-api" instead? Same applies to your next commit of "gnome-devel" -- wouldn't "gnome-api" be more appropriate? Personally, I would have probably be confused, since "-devel" suffix already has its own meaning in our Ports Tree. Just my $.02 though... ./danfe To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
