Synopsis: Release and Development Ports State-Changed-From-To: open->closed State-Changed-By: roam State-Changed-When: Wed Mar 14 03:43:20 PST 2001 State-Changed-Why: It seems people are happy with the current separation of certain ports in -stable and -devel versions. If you think a specific port should also be split in such a way, you'd have to take it up with that port's maintainer, inquire if they are willing to do the work involved in maintaining two versions of the port, and/or offer to maintain a -stable version yourself, if you feel up to it. This is not meant to sound harsh or 'dismissish' in any way; it's just an expression of how I, myself, see the current state of the FreeBSD Ports Collection, and, apparently, how the other ports committers see it, too - judging by the fact that there have been no reactions to my initial comment on this PR.
