I think there's a misunderstanding: linux-devel has nothing to do with versioning. It's the port that adds development tools. With versioning you would get: linux-base-5.2 linux-base-6.0 linux-devel-5.2 linux-devel-6.0 > I can explain the reasons that the ports system usually uses the above > convention, if you want. That's not needed anymore. I'm dropping the version numbering altogether. There will just be a linux-base and a linux-devel. New versions will overwrite/upgrade old versions. I just hope I don't have to say "I told you so" :-) -- Marcel Moolenaar mailto:marcel@scc.nl SCC Internetworking & Databases http://www.scc.nl/ Amsterdam, The Netherlands tel: +31 20 4200655 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
