Just provide the patch for the change and warn the user about the change, n= ow, just do not MFH it to the quarterly branch, so the user willing to keep apa= che22 for a while can live on the quarterly branch for the next 3 months :) I don't see the problem for the people using 9.3 packages, if they want stability they will stay on quarterly branch which still provides by default apache22 for 3 month. Hopefully when pkg 1.3 will land we will be able to add new feature to the = ports tree aka build the apache module for all supported apache version leading to anyone using package being able to chose the apache version they what whate= ver the default is (but we are not there yet :)) regards, Bapt --UHN/qo2QbUvPLonB Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iEYEARECAAYFAlO52K8ACgkQ8kTtMUmk6EyLmwCbBHpOknr9M4ntriu3nY8EmFMw evMAniwfORsti4HYmg3LjzMN2laNOJGV =p0fH -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --UHN/qo2QbUvPLonB--
