Possibly true. On the other hand, there's a lot of things in the make.conf man page that should go there as well, and a lot of duplication between the two. Someone should decide which of the two pages they belong in (*), merge them into one place with an appropriate replacement in the other, and add a reference to make.conf(7) to ports(7). I'm willing to do the work; I just want to make sure it goes in the right place before starting. <mike *) I'd vote for putting them in make.conf(7), as doing so would help fix one of the bugs on the ports(7) man page: "This man page is too long." -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
