Hi, As I was browsing thru the questions mailing list just now, I thought of=20 something that might improve the ease of use of our ports/packages system= =2E It seems to me it would be helpful if packages included a quick summary o= f any=20 options used to compile the package and anything else that isn't included= in=20 the packages, but is present in the port (or vice versa?). For example - = the=20 authentication bits in Squid) I've come across problems several times where I couldn't get something to= work=20 because I'd installed the package rather than the port and I've seen=20 questions from others with the same problem. What do you think? Cheers, Ian To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
