The default version of PHP is now 5.6, but lang/php5 is still 5.4. >From looking at the commits,[1] it seems that if I didn't have lang/php5 (5.4) installed, and then I installed something that requires PHP, I'd get lang/php56. Is that right? But since I do have lang/php5 installed, upgrading wi

A port I maintain (sorta) can only be built under Python 2.2.1 through 2.4.x. The app isn't being developed any longer, so patches to get it to build under 2.5+ aren't likely to be forthcoming. The port Makefile previously had USE_PYTHON= 2.2-2.4, but it was changed this week to simply USE_PYTHON

The AS_ROOT option in the mail/spamassassin port is really confusing to me. Given that its description is "Run spamd as root (recommended)", what actually happens is somewhat bonkers: The main spamd process always runs as root. If AS_ROOT is enabled, then the child processes who do all the work
