I thought everything was a port, but some have prebuilt "packages"... Now if i'm correct on that notion (I don't think i've ever seen a package with no port other than the yahoo IM, but that isn't even on the FreeBSD site. I think the filename tag and a role attribute is fine, but wouldn't a role="package" role="port" confuse some people or maybe be a bit overkill? In a sence, just use the role="port" or maybe mix both the old method and the new to become role="net/cvsup" or similar so that it leads to that port, and the reader will have to choose to download the package or do a make install in the ports directory :) Just a quick opinion, if it matters, I just think that having package defeats the purpose because then users have 2 options (use the port? or use the package?) -- Tom (Darklogik) Rhodes www.Pittgoth.com Gothic Liberation Front www.FreeBSD.org The Power To Serve To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
