The "glob pattern" bit of that was (unfortunately) broken up till version 2.20, which I just committed. > And yes, the directions are still wrong; it should be: > > portmaster -r 'png-*' The * at the end of that is not necessary. In fact, portmaster strips it off before creating the actual pattern to feed to find. The current version of the instructions are correct. The - at the end of png is not strictly necessary, but it will serve to disambiguate the port name if there exists a pngfoo-1.23. hth, Doug -- ... and that's just a little bit of history repeating. -- Propellerheads Improve the effectiveness of your Internet presence with a domain name makeover! http://SupersetSolutions.com/
