I don't see any reason to keep it around. In reality, it just clutters up the ports system with more deprecated software. In any case, "4.1" corrects a few problems in the older version. I believe it is at patch level 5 now, as your patch indicates. Just my 2ยข. -- Jerry FreeBSD-Ports.user(a)seibercom.net Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored.

Agreed, I tested the PL5 with your patch and it seems fine. Please consider the attached patch as well, that adds OPTIONS generally for the knobs already in the port, and a new option to use bash's readline instead of the base version. hth, Doug -- ... and that's just a little bit of history repeating. -- Propellerheads Improve the effectiveness of your Internet presence with a domain name makeover! http://SupersetSolutions.com/

Sorry, there was a logic error in the readline bit. Turns out if you actually try to use that configure option then compilation fails. Also, in spite of the --enable-static-link option the resultant binary is dynamically linked. I checked both a port build and building it by hand, same result. The current shells/bash (4.0) does not have this problem. Doug -- Improve the effectiveness of your Internet presence with a domain name makeover! http://SupersetSolutions.com/ Computers are useless.
