Hi Joe, Thanks alot for your quick reply. Since the old pkg-descr may already have caused some confusion, I suggest that the last paragraph of the new pkg-descr quote directly from the GTK+ homepage www.gtk.org/download/ as follows: "GTK+-2.0 is a stable release. But many applications still require GTK+-1.2, the previous stable version. You can have the runtime and development environments for both GTK+-2.0 and GTK+-1.2 installed simultaneously on your computer." By explicitly labeling GTK+-2.0 as "stable" in the pkg-descr, we can help undo some of the confusion the old pkg-descr may have caused. In particular, the explicit "stable" label can help motivate FreeBSD ports of stable software based on GTK+-2.0. What do you think?
