If I write a new port, I normally use cd /usr/ports/category port create using ports-mgmt/porttools. Then I try to get the skeleton port Makefile to fetch it's distfiles. If that works, I can use make makesum. If we replace 4.2 with a rough description like that above, would that be helpful ? Is it allowed to depend on ports-mgmt/porttools in the porters handbook or is it frowned upon ? --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
