Correct, the latter is how things are done. I think of it this way: as a user of wine I want the "wine" port/package to give me the best working version while "wine-devel" to give me a development version, for whatever "development version" means. It is clear to me that I'm getting something not as well tested as the latest release. -- WXS _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
