I set up the linux_lib port to extract to a staging area, with the intent that I may want to edit/patch a few files there eventually, or maybe install just pieces of it. Plus it had the benefit that it was more like the rest of the ports, but I didn't have 17M to deal with either. At one time I thought of having `make fetch' grab the various *.tgz's from slackware/redhat/... but finally decided that keeping track of all those linux dists *and* the versions of shared libs was way too much. :( > >-- >]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@gsoft.com.au.au [[ >]] Genesis Software genesis@gsoft.com.au [[ >]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ >]] realtime instrument control.
