Well, it's still an assumption. I just wanted to say that it needs further investigations to deceide if devel/bison can be updated to 2.0. Did you? There was enough time since the release of 2.0. At least bison 1.875 made problems. I quote the intial comment of devel/bison1875: "Add bison 1.875. Some grammars require the new version of Bison (such as PostgreSQL), however the new bison also breaks many many ports. Compromise with a new port. Installs as bison and _not_ bison1875 and should be mutually exclusive to the main bison port. Hopefully the bison authors will clean up their product and this port can disappear when the base bison port is updated in the future or enough ports are updated to work with newer versions of bison."
