As long a the release engineering depends on a working mkisofs I'm also reluctant to change the version tracked by sysutils/cdrtools to the alpha releases. If a port requires features from 2.01.01 it should just depend on sysutils/cdrtools-devel explicitly. There are some differences in pkg-plist files of the two cdrtools ports which should make this actually possible. Marius
