I read your original message regarding the patch to detect old port layouts. Very good idea. We've encountered a few users having this problem lately. I have a proposal for modifying the "upgrade kit" message. Many people find the message confusing. I think the proposed message may reduce the confusion level. I suspect my mailer may have wrapped the patch. If so, the patch is also available from <http://freebsddiary.org/bsd.port.mk.patch>. --- bsd.port.mk.original Sat Dec 23 09:13:30 2000 +++ bsd.port.mk Sat Dec 23 09:35:34 2000 @@ -1396,7 +1396,7 @@ SYSTEMVERSION= 0 .endif .if ${BSDPORTMKVERSION} > ${SYSTEMVERSION} -IGNORE= ": Your system is too old to use this bsd.port.mk.
