Hi, during an update to 8.3 I notice mergemaster from 8.3 is building a database from /etc/services with services_mkdb. However the ports framework does not provide an automation to rebuild this database, even I haven't seen any port which triggers a rebuild. So my questions: - should ports take care for rebuilding the database - should we implement something like USERS/GROUPS for services in bsd.port.mk - what are the consumers of /var/db/services.db and what is the impact of not rebuilding this database. -- regards, olli
