The ports system has both devel/bison (version 1.75) and devel/bison1875 (version 1.875) >From the commit message for 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. -- <Insert your favourite quote here.> Erik Trulsson ertr1013@student.uu.se
