That's a reasonable approach in some respects. > I prefer to keep the latest available version in myport/, As an end user, I expect "category/myport" to be the "recommended" stable version of the port, with any other "category/myport?*" variants reflecting older-but-still-wanted or development versions. Judging by comments and questions I've seen over the years, I'm not alone in this point of view. >It is a porter's discretion to ponder wheter a particular release >version is stable enough to get into the main myport/ directory. Taking into account users' expectation that the version in myport/ is suitable for production use. >In this particular case, openfire-3.7.0.beta seemed to my workable enough. It may well be - after all, many of us are running 8-stable or 9-current, both of which are "beta" software. And it could be that the "beta" designation relates to issues that do not affect the FreeBSD port. But, IMHO, by taking this step, you are stating that openfire-3.7.0.beta is suitable for production use. --=20 Peter Jeremy --eJnRUKwClWJh1Khz Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.15 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAk0thYEACgkQ/opHv/APuId8kgCcCQseAcgNAKLAbBMCY16NGcWT x/8AniitnUAedRHk/SR29FKW2TXguKZq =B0L6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --eJnRUKwClWJh1Khz--
