Note that we aren't talking about the name of the port but of the installed executable. And once the port is installed we want people to use this version of xterm in preference to the one in ${X11BASE}/bin. We do have quite a few cases where ports conflict and install binaries by the same name, e.g. lynx{,-ssl,-current}, or the four w3m incarnations. -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber naddy@mips.rhein-neckar.de To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
