The following reply was made to PR ports/40834; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Attila Nagy <bra@fsn.hu> To: Udo Schweigert <udo.schweigert@siemens.com> Cc: freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org Subject: Re: ports/40834: New port: net/linux-jigdo Date: Thu, 25 Jul 2002 08:32:05 +0200 (CEST) Hello, > OK. But the debian images were the reason I noticed this software. Yes. They are the only massive users so far :) But that will change, I'm sure. > I have first tried to compile with db3 which failed for some reason I > hadn't time enough to investigate in (I only wanted to generate the > debian images). In the port, I submitted, you can choose not to compile in DB3 support (it is necessary only when creating .jigdo files, not during their extraction). And without GUI, because it isn't really working (experimental) and needs the whole X sources to compile, which most users doesn't want to download (like me). > > I think running it in linux-emu is waste of resources. > linux-... ports are very common in the ports tree.

Thanks. Did you try that?
