Wait, are you suggesting we move things like ${PREFIX}/bin/qt* -> ${PREFIX}/lib/qt/bin/ ${PREFIX}/lib/libqt* -> ${PREFIX}/lib/qt/lib/ ${PREFIX}/include/qt2/ -> ${PREFIX}/lib/qt/include/qt2/ (the filenames are hypothetical, I don't know if qt has any executables -- just take these as examples of the idea) If so, I'm against this change. There are reasons and history behind us asking ports to conform to our hier; this runs completely counter to it. -PW To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
