Along these lines, perhaps we should consider creating a[nother] merged ports repo (ala prtsync) called contrib-testing (or something) for these types of ports. Maintainers can tag all of their cvs/bleeding edge ports for this new place, thus making them readily available to masses and not cluttering/breaking contrib.
The question is: Do we want to provide "latest bleeding edge" software that may have defects that haven't had time to be fixed yet ? I think this would be heading down the path of Debian (which I always thought wasn't really a great idea). I guess I'm thinking of non-technical users here, whom may want to try "latest bleeding edge" stuff only to find it breaks. cheers James -- -- -"Problems are Solved by Method" -
