If you install things outside the ports system then you can't expect the ports system to be able to track it (which I'm sure you don't). I doubt that the ports system will ever cater for this. As [LoN]Kamikaze wrote, it may be worthwhile creating the port infrastructure when you do this - this gives you a repeatable mechanism for rebuilding the port. And, if it was useful to you, it might be useful for someone else so you might like to consider submitting it. --=20 Peter Jeremy --h3LYUU6HlUDSAOzy Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFGdQH5/opHv/APuIcRArCHAJ9FTSDYzdcTWZey54yC8UctMD5bHwCfSkqH zoa2AjEZo6YQ4tEszQeq9oI= =G4oh -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --h3LYUU6HlUDSAOzy--
