When you say 'it saves on the repo-copy', do you mean that there should NOT be a repo-copy when we move up to Tomcat 5? This is something that I do not really agree with; repocopies are done to preserve a port's history, and IMHO most of the Tomcat 5 port will still be based on the Tomcat 4 one; thus, it should keep at least some of the Tomcat 4 port history. Ergo, a repocopy *should* be done, at least IMHO :) G'luck, Peter -- Peter Pentchev roam@ringlet.net roam@FreeBSD.org PGP key: http://people.FreeBSD.org/~roam/roam.key.asc Key fingerprint FDBA FD79 C26F 3C51 C95E DF9E ED18 B68D 1619 4553 This inert sentence is my body, but my soul is alive, dancing in the sparks of your brain.
