I didn't think he claimed he had a port, I thought he said it was a package. The bin part of it surely is, anyways. I think it might be right to urge him to put it in as a port, but completely unfair to tell him he did it wrong. As a package, it isn't wrong. I like ports, you like ports, but there IS that alternative, and I think asking him to go that extra step is more friendly than telling him he's wrong because he didn't. > > > > /usr/ingres is ... well .. debatable > > usr/local & such normally ... oh well. > > > > anyway I'm out of time, > > but it doesnt qualify as a FreeBSD package ... yet, > > > > Would you like to look at a few of the 400 /usr/ports/*/*/Makefile, > > grab the syntax out of a few, & write a makefile & DESC & pkg/ stuff, > > > > then when you've done that i'll test it & if OK commit it. > > > > > Forgive me if I was misundestood, > > This is not suposed to be a "port", just an answer to > the people that want a "try" in ingres. > > As I see, the interest is growing, I'll promiss to make a > real "PORT", thanks to your assistance.
