 Replying to [comment:1 ryandesign@…]:
 > 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.

 MongoDB 2.0 was released today.
