Sorry if sounded like a smart-ass, I didn't intend that.
I had suspicions about "Old" part of the link, but I was looking for "Stable".
Maybe we just see different things behind words like "alpha", "beta" and "stable".
But FreeBSD ports typically track stable releases of third-party programs, only in
exceptional cases we create "-devel" versions of the ports that track betas or
other kind of WIP.
I realize that there is a new trend of "permanently beta" software (GOOG), but I
think that it would be beneficial to the community of users of your software if
you'd split Old and Stable categories and declared some recent version of cdrtools
to be a Stable Release.
