OK, I am trying to work out what exactly the rationale was for the sudden appearance of the misnamed mozilla-devel. The only reason I can come up with is to support Galeon, which is insufficient reason for breaking the chain of mozilla.org supported releases. If you need to continue to support Galeon until those developers catch up with mozilla.org, then you need to change the Galeon port to depend on a newly-created mozilla10 port, allowing the mozilla port to continue to track mozilla.org official releases. mozilla-devel is completely meaningless in the context of mozilla.org supported releases unless you intend to spend the time tracking *beta* or *alpha* releases. If no one steps up to the plate to track such releases, then the mozilla port *should* track the mozilla.org official releases. Please explain why I should break the natural compatability of the mozilla port with *official* mozilla.org releases with this mozilla-devel misnomer. I cannot for the life of me figure it out. /Joe To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-gnome" in the body of the message
