I tested portlint Wednesday on a port and it works fine. These names are all set throught variables in bsd.port.mk and portlint automagically works. databases/mytop is already committed with NEWLAYOUT=true if you want to run portlint on it. This does not guarentee that for some of the more complex/bizzare ports it won't complain. But it does work for standard "simple" ports. Jim -- James E. Housley Hi! I'm a .signature virus!
