I'm not entirely sure what you're proposing here, but I'm definitely in favor of it. Are you talking about setting the replacement In MOVED to sysutils/beats? Would that work? sysutils/beats8 has PKGNAMESUFFIX=8. Or are you talking about renaming the beats8 port to beats? The PRs that Mark included earlier are to introduce beats9. Personally I'm a HUGE proponent of the "current" beats being sysutils/beats and the old versions being sysutils/beats<n>, but I can't speak for the elastic@ team. -- Adam Weinberger adamw@adamw.org // adamw@FreeBSD.org [-- Attachment #2 --] <div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">On Sat, Jan 3, 2026 at 12:47 AM Matthias Fechner <<a href="mailto:mfechner@freebsd.org">mfechner@freebsd.org</a>> wrote:</div></div><div class="gmail_quote gmail_quote_container"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">Dear Adam,<br> <br> Am 03.01.2026 um 01:46 schrieb Adam Weinberger:<br> > sysutils/beats7: Remove, and point users to beats8<br> > <br> > beats7 uses symbols from Go that were removed in go1.23, making it<br> > unbuildable with anything beyond go1.22.
