I myself would be upset if the linux_base ports was updated without further changes. It causes breakage to linux netscape. (I know that a symlink was suggested as a solution, but that is only a partial solution.) How about instead if there is a new port - linux_base-current or something like that. That way if people wish to risk the breakage or need the updates, they can do it. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=26976 http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=27019 John Toon wrote: > > Luis A.
