Well, that requires: 1. creating a tarball 2. calculating the hashes 3. editing the portfile Which is a lot of fiddling for each new version. My goal is to NOT do all that, but to get the same installation that I would get if I did. It is also to have a way that non-developer users can easily install the actual latest version of the moment, which is sometimes the easiest way to get fixes that don't merit a full release. -- Bill Cole b...@scconsult.com or billc...@apache.org (AKA @grumpybozo and many *@billmail.scconsult.com addresses) Not Currently Available For Hire
