Informational message from Alex: -b doesn't break stuff on usual servers. It just workarounds a bug on SOME servers, such as the Xoom HTTP Servers, where e.g. the ispell port fetches a distfile from (and I added -b) New fetch doesn't need the -b option, so it can just be kept as long as the Ports system is usable on 2.2.x or 3.x. That's what backward-compatiblity options are for. Alex To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
