Sender: owner-freebsd-ports@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I have two ports that are both of the same program, but different revisions. I have a "stable" and a "development" version. This is a similar situation to how "gimp" and "gimp-devel" used to be ("gimp" was the stable 0.54 version, and "gimp-devel" was the "beta" 0.99 version). How should I handle this? The program in question is "sysutils/mkhybrid", a program for creating hybrid CD-ROMs (Joliet, HFS, et al). The port that's in there now is of version 1.11.1, and is the last "stable" release. I now have a port for mkhybrid 1.12a4.1, which is considered "alpha" but contains significant new functionality. Should I make a "mkhybrid" and "mkhybrid-devel" port? Or a "mkhybrid11" and "mkhybrid12" port (a' la squid11/squid12)?
