What I meant is just keeping a copy of the bsd.port.mk file in the "root" directory of the ports (which for some people is /usr/ports). It would make it real easy for people to copy it over to the right place (/usr/share/mk) or make /usr/share/mk/bsd.ports.mk a link to the one in the directory they sup/cvsup ports to. Sander PS. Yes I know that cvs knows not about links, so it would really be two commits instead of one :-( > -- > j. > >
