* From: "Jordan K. Hubbard" <jkh@zippy.cdrom.com> Look, we're obviously not going to convince each other with this discussion. I'm sorry I caused you much trouble by adding it without working it with you first, but I believe the current state is workable for both of us. Can we leave it as it is? * 2. Your INDEX files can frequently be out of date with the ports * collection and someone should be able to do their own "make index" * when that happens. There is a "chopindex" script in ports/Tools/portbuild/scripts that anyone can use to clean up the index file (remove extra dependencies, lines for non-existent packages, etc.). * packages and that is simply not [yet] the case. The INDEX file * certainly isn't for the ports - they already get the dependency * information out of the Makefiles - it's for the packages and for * rudimentary search features. It is for all of them, as well as things like the ports web page. The one I commit is simply one with most information -- you can derive the package index from this one, but not the other way around. * To put it another way, consider me as Bruce and this as a really * egregious style(9) bug on your part. You can argue about it forever, * but it won't make you any less wrong in the end. :) If you want to declare yourself Bruce, go ahead. Then I'm going to take your advice about Bruce-filters and take note to your opinion but respectfully stand by my decision, thank you very much. :) Satoshi To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
