I agree with your disagreement :-)
I get what you're saying, but please consider which is easier to reverse-
deleting an accidentally saved library, or restoring an accidentally
deleted library?
Defaults should be safe. I was bitten by this with pcre- sometimes we
can't update all our ports at one time.
How isn't it correct? We still keep src libraries around until we make
delete-old-libs. Why should ports be different?
Chris
Doesn't the ports framework itself also keep the old libraries around in
/usr/local/lib/compat/pkg or something like that?
