In general, $port / $port-devel more common, but in case of wine I think wine-stable or even wine14 / wine would be better. I suspect that not mouch people would stick with wine release. -- Adios ___ 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

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
