Is there any reason to prefer jade over openjade? My memory might be a little faulty, but I seem to remember that jade either didn't compile or didn't run on the alpha. openjade works fine on all platforms, except that it might have had difficulty dealing with 8-bit characters. There was some discussion of this a little over a year ago...look for a thread on hackers@ in August 2001 with the subject "building 'release' and compiling doc ports". > The remaining diffs correct a missing perl build dependency, I recommend USE_PERL5 instead of adding to BUILD_DEPENDS. > and add > lang/perl5 to the list of ports to check out in the DOMINIMALDOCPORTS > case. OK. We really ought to figure out how to automatically generate this but it's a little difficult without having a complete, up-to-date ports tree lying around at the start of the release build. > There are two remaining problems: a checksum mismatch in the > print/ghostscript-gnu port (I was unable to find an old version of the > distfile, so I cannot correct this) A bunch of people (including myself) have run into this. Unfortunately I don't have an old distfile around either. :-( > and the bletcherous perl wrapper > which breaks port dependencies (fatal in a release build setting). I presume you meant for the openjade port. If you use USE_PERL5 instead of setting BUILD_DEPENDS, I think the ports infrastructure should do the right thing.
