Ok, I guess I owe an explanation here, since quite a few people have
raised concerns about me committing a beta version to openfire/.

I am personally against -devel ports. These tends to get marked as
IGNORE or anyway no longer be valid after the -devel branch has turned
to stable. I prefer to keep the latest available version in myport/,
upon user request, keep previous (stable and maintained) versions in
myport10, myport11, etc... See for example java/netbeans, java/netbeans5,
java/netbeans55, java/netbeans61. This brings two advantages:

- the cost of maintaining a previous version in myport10/ is ~= 0
- the myport/ directory always contains the latest available version

It is a porter's discretion to ponder wheter a particular release
version is stable enough to get into the main myport/ directory.

In this particular case, openfire-3.7.0.beta seemed to my workable enough.

Users have reported problems upgrading their configuration, and this is
the reason for me requesting a repocopy to backport the previous version
to openfire36.

I welcome any feedbacks on this matter.

Best Regards,
