If Bob was an aspiring ports developer, maybe a response like that would make some sense. Asking a user who knows how to build ports to be poking around in and understanding the guts of the ports build framework is a bit much. Asking them to even know bsd.port.mk *exists* is a bit much. A good response would be to point a user to the manpage that documents all this stuff. Oh wait... there isn't one. -- Ian
