I ask how is a situation managed when a port patially breaks with
the base system but the ports tree is frozen. Because of the new
OpenSSL, mod_php4 in version 4.3.1 won't build with OpenSSL, but
the upcoming 4.3.2 will do. The php-4.3.2RC4 is out and the
4.3.2-RELEASE will come in next 1-3 weeks. Can this port becomes
committed whether the ports tree is frozen or not or should it marked
as broken when OpenSSL is used?
