-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 someone's being very lazy here. I decided to learn a bit of qt4, so I went looking at the dozen different ports of qt4-* in ports/devel. Whoever did those ports copied the description of the entire qt (not even noting what version it is) to every single one of the ports, although they AREN'T all the same thing. At least some care, even 30 seconds, should have been given to allow at least a vague hint as to what the ports do. The ports diagnostic tools really ought to be made to detect when someone's decided they didn't need to give any kind of desciption at all, I would think that things which source in the same bsd.n.mk files, they could be checked to see if they all have identical, useless pkg-descr files. OTOH, the KDE folks deserve an attaboy for NOT doing this to folks. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAknJJWwACgkQz62J6PPcoOmYfwCgm2NyOFXKVOXuwQMmlZMwUMAO h1MAoJJrHDcYr09IIUwfx+bZ4SxIKn6g =fSDJ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
