"--lowercase" option need to be taken care of in a more general way. there may be other instances when file names might need to be converted to lower case. "sed" or "tr" w/ "mv" are more than able to take care of that. and "--quiet" option, well, that's why we have "/dev/null". it's too expensive to ask for port upgrade just for only those two options. unless i am missing something else, otherwise, cabextract 0.2 is just as fine do everything that's needed by webfonts. - parv -- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
