I make port-upgrade periddically what I see is that always the last the "raw" version is included in ports.Gnome officialy maintains two branches of development:stable and beta so it effictively adhere to the same development model as fbsd do(at least what two branches of development concern).Now I would like to know what is so idiotic in idea of doing the same:just maintain two branches of gnome ports :stable and development.There are surely people how are interested in one as well there are people who are interested in other anf there still another who are interested in stable applications in one part and development applications in other.As for me I have some long-lasting problems with xchat-1.3.8 I understand it is not critical by no means but I would soemhow appreciate possibility to choose what I would like to run using ports mechanismus.Besides ,will the questions related and describing problems with some non-critical applications tolerated and answered in this mailing list.Is it a good tone to ask them? kind regards, Ariel To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
