Presumably the 6.x series wlll be retired before 8.x is released... :) That brings up a question (not directed at you, Scot) - what is the usual procedure for port maintainers so they can test their ports on both 6.x & 7.x? In terms of building a port, is it a case of most porters running 7.x, and what compiles with gcc 4.2 without trouble is likely to be OK with gcc 3.4 also? I suppose you could install lang/gcc34 under 7.x and try building your port with that instead of the base gcc. Then it's just a matter of setting CC=gcc34. Or is there more to it than that? _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
