Hi Bjoern, nothing against this change, except your complain comes a little bit late. The portstree was already tagged for 9.3 some days ago so this change would be a possible issue for all users using the 9.3 packages. Before the default version can be changed a full expr. run by portmgr@ is required and all possible issues should be fixed. Unluckily we have a rolling ports tree (not like RHEL and others where such a change happens during new major releases) so there should be also a time frame to warn users about such a change. I remember endless discussions about the removal of apache13 after it was already deprecated nearly one year after upstream deprecation ... -- olli _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
