Umm. builder 1% cd /usr/ports/www/mod_php4 && make -V PORTVERSION 4.3.2.r4 So we're at 4.3.2RC4 right now (which works just fine as far as I can tell). Regarding the upcoming 4.3.2-RELEASE, it'll surely get committed as and when it's available. Unfortunately, with 8700+ ports in the tree, trying to co-ordinate releases of 3rd party code with FreeBSD releases is effectively impossible. Pretty much every time a FreeBSD release is rolled, there's always one or two ports that have their own release updates just around the corner. -aDe
