Hello Edwin, Tuesday, November 8, 2005, 7:13:52 PM, you wrote: EM> Why did you update subversion to a pre-release (that is: unstable) EM> version of 1.3.0, while 1.2.3 is the current recommended version by the EM> subversion team?

I'd really like EM> to see a stable, released version in the main port... Because: (a) This RC is fixed many bugs, which was reported to me as port's maintainer. Backport patches when release will be in month or less is not what I want to do. (b) Some gcc maintainers need this version, because gcc project uses subversion now and REQUIRES 1.3.0-rc1 or later. (c) We need to test this version on FreeBSD BEFORE release, because sibversion's developers never does tests on FreeBSD themselfs. And, last, but not least: (d) You is not enforced to update. 1.2.3_3 is Ok for you? Don't updgrade port -- it is simple! And about `subversion-devel': 95% of time there is not any alpha, beata or rc versions of subversion project. RC presents for less than a month and even nto for every release, so 95% of time `devel' port will be equal to `simple' one. -- Best regards, Lev mailto:lev@FreeBSD.org
