I have some patches I apply locally that I've not got round to suggesting to
ports@ yet, for instance:
-----{
] Establish a compilation order for majority interests
] I suspect most people need things like mailers, postscript tools, fax etc
] a lot more than they need games, japanese, or russian
] (not that those things aren't nice to have too, just that when
] compiling a system, where the make may break, or disc may run out,
] or you've got a screwed system you need to restore with a new make,
] the system components esssential to most of us are not in games japanese russian
] So it's worth compiling the things most people need first, rather than
] just going the alphabetic route.
]
] Move games to last, (dedicated players can move it first if they want)
] Move japanese russian to last (as most people are not either)
]

I have & do regularly, but when the same things keep breaking regularly,
apart from reporting it,
I pefer to have my local patch script just patch them out (lots of ports
I don't even know what they are, so have zero inclination to fix 'em,
plus any inclination is tempered by a 40 second delay per key stroke,
going to freefall from Munich thru' about 15 hosts.

BROKEN Sounds attractive :-) I'll wait to read /usr/share/mk/*po*.mk
to discover RESTRICTED functionality.
Keep up the good work :-) Thanks,
