The following reply was made to PR ports/55638; it has been noted by GNATS. From: ian j hart <ianjhart@ntlworld.com> To: freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org, ianjhart@ntlworld.com Cc: Subject: Re: ports/55638: [PATCH] www/rt2 marked broken Date: Thu, 21 Aug 2003 17:31:34 +0100 There is _some_ magic in bsd.port.mk, but it only deals with system vs. ports Perl. Effectively the path is hard coded, so you don't gain much (anything?). In any case since /usr/bin/perl is a symlink to the real Perl we don't need any magic. This path is always correct. If someone moves perl and doesn't fix the symlink that's their problem. Both versions will break in this case. N.B. I don't dislike your version, it's just that NOT patching 2 files is a simpler option than patching 2 files i.e. 'if it 'ain't broke, don't fix it'. Let's call it committers choice.
