I asked that this port be deprecated as it has been superceded by AmberTools (by the same developers as nab). It has been a couple of months since the port was marked deprecated, so it should be removed. I have the current version of AmberTools compiling from with a port skeleton, but the AmberTools build environment is so different from the expectations of a conformant FreeBSD port I do not think it can ever be converted to a port. Essentially the problem is that AmberTools expects to be build in the final install location, and this location is hardwired thoroughout the source after the build step. I will be posting to the ports email list in case someone has a suggestion that escapes me at this time. >How-To-Repeat: NA >Fix: remove the port >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
