This may or may not * be a bad thing.. I see. Well, David O'Brien is the maintainer of both, and he has stated in the past that they will stay in sync, so I don't think we have to worry about that particular case. * Sorry, the comment was a little tongue-in-cheek (hence the quotes), I'm Ok. But many people will misunderstand what you said, so please be careful. Satoshi To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
