So... I'm trying to be a "good kid " (well, sometimes) and check the archives because I came up with an oddity re: the "depends-list" target for making a port. So I tried searching -questions with the expression ports and depends-list But of the results I get, few have the expression "depends-list" in them... but they do seem to have "list" or "depends" in them. So is the hyphen being treated as a meta-character? I would welcome suggested improvements for search criteria. If I get a significant number of responses that are not copied to the list, I'll summarize to the list.
