Do you mean a more up to date version of Pico? Pico is currently at version 3.7 and probably is still at 3.7 even in Pine 4.31. Updating Pine won't provide a pico-only port or offer a newer version of Pico. When Pine 4.31 is committed, I'll determine if Pico is newer or has different patches and then submit an update for it. An argument could be made for using Pine's PORTVERSION, but I saw no immediate benefit. > There may be some sympathy for a pico-only port, though, so I'll leave > this one open. Thankyou. I think a pico-only port is warranted. -- Jeremy --------------------------------------------------------------------- Jeremy Shaffner | This space for rent. jeremy@external.org | $ grep happiness life http://www.external.org/~jeremy/pgp.key | FreeBSD: The Power to Serve To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
