Fair enough. But if the "make update" process updated them only if the version of the port changed, and only if the relevant README.html file was present, then this would make everyone happy -- right? People who don't want these files left lying around could do a one-time "find /usr/ports -name README.html -print | xargs rm -f" (or whatever), and they'd never again have to worry about these files being updated (or created) during the "make update" process. > If you want to provide a mechanism in ports/Makefile to let people > specify they want their README.html files updated when they use ``make > update'', feel free to submit patches. I'll try to tease out what all is done during a "make update", and then see if I can figure out how to modify that to update the README.html files if they are present. I'd like to be able to at materially contribute *something* to the project, even if it is something as relatively unimportant as this.... -- These are my opinions -- not to be taken as official Skynet policy ====================================================================== Brad Knowles, || Belgacom Skynet SA/NV Systems Architect, Mail/News/FTP/Proxy Admin || Rue Colonel Bourg, 124 Phone/Fax: +32-2-706.13.11/12.49 || B-1140 Brussels http://www.skynet.be || Belgium To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
