But it was still available from sysutils/newportsversionchecker. It was just that I couldn't run it regularely (If it runs at at most 100 TCP sessions at the same time, then my computer starts to be unresponsive, but this still takes 2 days to run. Can't afford that on my work machine. Make/bsd.port.mk is fun, but it kills performance now and then. Oh, and for these two days the bandwidth is more or less maxed out. Yes, digital sandpath here) Good to see somebody else took over the flame. Can't wait for my first received email :-) Please note that I still have a list of restrictions available if you like it: http://edwin.adsl.barnet.com.au/~edwin/ports/restricted-ports.html Might be handy if you want to prevent re-analyzing the tree :-) Edwin -- Edwin Groothuis | Personal website: http://www.mavetju.org edwin@mavetju.org | Weblog: http://weblog.barnet.com.au/edwin/
