On a related note, the make.conf comparison is close to useless - at least = it=20 is very annoying, perhaps confusing for some. The example make.conf that is= =20 used for the comparison has only very few entries and as soon as something = as=20 basic as the perl port is installed (and the entries added by 'use.perl por= t'=20 are present in make.conf), the comparison will pop up a diff. =2D-=20 ,_, | Michael Nottebrock | lofi@freebsd.org (/^ ^\) | FreeBSD - The Power to Serve | http://www.freebsd.org \u/ | K Desktop Environment on FreeBSD | http://freebsd.kde.org --Boundary-02=_oOR9AgFHGgpb4uk Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Description: signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBA9ROoXhc68WspdLARAi0MAKChnK2I9uvy/0ddJsfQLq4TwUkvJwCfQKKw qfUAOogbFqWvOr7vukseMHw= =pr7R -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Boundary-02=_oOR9AgFHGgpb4uk--
