Here you should complain to expat maintainer, who should have added that entry sooner, perhaps post a heads-up and coordinate with dependent port maintainers. What I don't know is why we don't have a PORTREVISION bump for dependent ports in expat case, like we have for other share libs. > Today - yeah yeah, today is a fine day, because the compiling mess is > over.

At maintainer-level some of it could be avoided by better coordination (like it was the case last time when both kde and gnome where updated). Of course, your help in (helping) maintaining any port will be appreciated. -- IOnut - Unregistered ;) FreeBSD "user" "Intellectual Property" is nowhere near as valuable as "Intellect" BOFH excuse #394: Jupiter is aligned with Mars _______________________________________________ kde-freebsd mailing list [email protected] http://freebsd.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-freebsd
