Sorry. You did really good job, Trevor, by creating ports/61992, it's the most simple way to update depended ports, IMO. -Kirill pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

The gettext-new idea is Jeremy Messenger's and it hasn't been implemented. I figured that keeping gettext 0.12.1 available and having all ports still use it would be the least disruptive thing, but I was wrong.

Why did you create this *-old *-new versions and not just updated gettext and bumped PORTREVISIONs for depended ports ? -Kirill pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
