Whatever it is, clang-3.5 is pre-stable until the "r" whatever suffix disappears from its version number. As I recall, it's Jeremy's habit to create a new clang port right after the previous one becomes stable. > My reason for adding -devel is to not encourage the casual user to install > alpha software. See also the php56 port, which is currently pre-stable. I have the php56 SAPI ports print a note warning the user of this. > Would mariadb-devel or mariadb-10.1-alpha be better? _______________________________________________ macports-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-dev
