As a side note, I'm wondering about the use of some ports. For instance, I needed the UMD's MaRS router simulator, and of course I wanted to use it under FBSD. After patching the source to compile properly, I found I nearly had a port of it. So I will finish it up and commit it. BUT, I feel guilty that maybe the use of the program to the general FBSD public doesn't warrent the space the distfile and pkg will take up on the CDROM. So I am thinking of marking these NO_PKG and NO_CDROM. The port will be there for painless building if someone else ever needs it. Oppinions? Danerous precidence?? -- -- David (obrien@cs.ucdavis.edu)
