#31159: mongodb: update to version 2 -----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- Reporter: drew@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: update | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: Keywords: | Port: mongodb -----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- Changes (by ryandesign@…): * cc: ryandesign@… (added) * version: 2.0.3 => * milestone: MacPorts 2.0.4 => * type: request => update * port: => mongodb Comment: In r83628 I have updated mongodb to 1.8.3, the latest stable version. Mongodb 2 is not released yet; the latest version available is 2.0.0-rc2, which is a release candidate, which means it is not a stable version yet. So it would not be appropriate to update the mongodb port to that version. According to the preliminary [http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/2.0+Release+Notes mongodb 2 release notes], "Although the major version number has changed, MongoDB 2.0 is a standard, incremental production release and works as a drop-in replacement for MongoDB 1.8." So once mongodb 2 is released, we should be able to update the mongodb port to it and existing software should continue to work. It doesn't seem like we need to create a separate mongodb2 port. If we wanted to offer users the chance to try out mongodb 2 before it's released, we could create a new mongodb-devel port for version 2.0.0-rc2. If version 2 final will be released soon, it may not be worth the effort. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/31159#comment:1> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
