Creating slave ports is something you do out of necessity, not becau= se=20 you can. > I could split net/gnunet into:=20 > gnunet-gdbm, gnunet-mysql, gnunet-tdb, gnunet-bdb3, gnunet-sqlite, > gnunet-ipv6, gnunet-guile, hence we get 7 slave ports and one master > port. That would certainly be better than the current status quo, which makes the= =20 gnunet package rather bare-bones - at least you should convert it to OPTION= S=20 and default them to on. However, you wouldn't need to bother with a=20 gnunet-ipv6 port - even the option is rather gratuitous. =2D-=20 ,_, | Michael Nottebrock | lofi@freebsd.org (/^ ^\) | FreeBSD - The Power to Serve | http://www.freebsd.org \u/ | K Desktop Environment on FreeBSD | http://freebsd.kde.org --nextPart1451980.RGKfgsOUqr Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBCGi0NXhc68WspdLARAtnSAKCDFCPrVTV//OQekV97qa3385JxwwCgphSC t4v6MGGIDbtlK3Ny/jwpbEM= =Pzg7 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart1451980.RGKfgsOUqr--
