Sorry if sounded like a smart-ass, I didn't intend that. I had suspicions about "Old" part of the link, but I was looking for "Stable". Maybe we just see different things behind words like "alpha", "beta" and "stable". But FreeBSD ports typically track stable releases of third-party programs, only in exceptional cases we create "-devel" versions of the ports that track betas or other kind of WIP. I realize that there is a new trend of "permanently beta" software (GOOG), but I think that it would be beneficial to the community of users of your software if you'd split Old and Stable categories and declared some recent version of cdrtools to be a Stable Release. -- Andriy Gapon
