Alot of the software in the ports tree comes in several versions. E.g mysql323-server, mysql40-server, mysql41-server and mysql50-server. Another example is gcc which comes in nine different versions in ports. Also a huge number of ports comes in a both a "foo" and a "foo-devel" version. The ports system itself is ignorant of these subtleties, though, and it is you own responsibility to find whatever version suits your needs and requirements best. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
