The only thing he described is that he preferred one way over another as the standard one, and I have not seen any comments about who it was discussed with. Looks like it was one man decision from 3rd party person perspective. At a bare minimum there should be a list of person who took part in the discussion, and what was the conclusion, because the commit itself, as was noted by osa@, has no evident benefit. > It made the ports tree a little smaller?

If there going to be a standard, it should be documented first. From my POV I can see a benefit of having a @comment in pkg-plist, as it allows one to find out what revision this file was. I'm not sure that it was the original intention, though. Deciding what's standard and what's not only by use number is not gonna work. I'm pretty sure that most ports doesn't fully respect PREFIX or CFLAGS, but it's not a reason to drop it from ports that do. Or changing all ports with dynamic pkg-lists to use static one just because most ports do this. --=20 Stanislav Sedov ST4096-RIPE --Signature=_Fri__24_Sep_2010_00_49_58_-0700_JSEZu+tWczFy_oav Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJMnFgmAAoJEL8lojEJL9nwKPsP+wdKGqxU9l72X2aVGxfEEFTY NxIE6vAvXS51v+1Ura7CE382KI9IVgk7gOm04QXvp7sHiqtg5ThYr3VAZnCw1XZh NlGmvWlyRlGp2T/Do9Nt3sHULog/Wr/+Ivu4YnqeJl0EvyskPCbKGOBFwyerV/SC RaU/uFRfHZrk/fTsCw+EgVvPjAn2mQZa/PERdpbBpyzBZW4RZRpz4LBYl6jL6/4Q QBStfSz25qiQA4QqdDRaIFGbTvjMee03QMKzwenqGl1kIrDUSVw1G30CRd/wUQ8m Dvr+MGpN9GWB4m1EBr84WqXer3hsZZcmm3/ag7DHv3PRim8EcAdNyqdYxvi1ThkL 4tupkCe1y4pRBOv8pu7+8f4VZ5MJBFDr1iK8UHVEWzytrM4mNtAZp0cL2sULz03n ednfv5FwbMbGp9t2PI3cOIgAofp7ylbwbE5rvzbnjUqWhMnS/p1T4QxBcBKFUXrL S0ahWsNH84sAOSj+Ri/ni6Z6TpMHHykiFs7ypV2p8WYo8gcoanKcc4FuZRKNlXIU b+LD91gLAtY4cjHvreVMo4156aQzoq9wcgRoB8V0cGA4rJsgiyliwSAARAg6+/WH XS5gFGybREbUaLUaBtIp8IxJvaYR8L++W/hi6p1yRIflZr15QrmDaauMQeKFCKMb MpMxKaq24hO8gvSMbivW =vkOn -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Signature=_Fri__24_Sep_2010_00_49_58_-0700_JSEZu+tWczFy_oav--
