So how long until all the X ports get renamed? :-P And actually, in the latest INDEX, there are 106 such ports: grep '^[^|]*|/usr/ports/[-a-z0-9]*/[A-Z]' INDEX | awk -F\| '{ print $1, $2 }' If you wish for a list of them. I can see the name of the port in question being a bit long, but whining about case seems rediculous. > -Maxim -- John Baldwin -- http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ PGP Key: http://www.baldwin.cx/~john/pgpkey.asc "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
