Along similar lines I'd *love* to see the search target of /usr/ports/Makefile moved into bsd.port.mk in such a way so that one could change to a subdirectory such as /usr/ports/print and run a `make search' for just that part of the tree. ----- End forwarded message ----- Cheers, N -- [intentional self-reference] can be easily accommodated using a blessed, non-self-referential dummy head-node whose own object destructor severs the links. -- Tom Christiansen in <375143b5@cs.colorado.edu> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
