Actually, I found a problem -- we need to get this port automatically deinstalled when the last emacs/apache/whatever is deinstalled, otherwise we'll have the virtapache port without any real apaches. But I'm sure I can find a simple way around it. * While on the subject, is there some reason why the gnome package doesnt * seem to get built? Is it just that at any given moment at least one of its * infinite number of dependents is usually broken? Yes, that's usually the case. :< I added an "affected ports" field (the "Aff." column) in the errorlogs page to show how many ports a particular breakages affects (it only greps the index, so it won't show chain of build depends though) but I also need to find a way so people can query what package built and the reason why if it didn't build (and is not broken itself).
