I just got the latest ports, and the Makefile problem is still there:
@grep ${key} ${.CURDIR}/INDEX | awk -F\| '{
printf("Port:\t%s\nPath:\t%s\nInfo:\t%s\nMaint:\t%s\nIndex:\t%s\nB-deps:\t%s\nR-deps:\t%s\n\n",
$$1, $$2, $$4, $$6, $$7, $$8, $$9); }'
should really be:
@grep -i ${key} ${.CURDIR}/INDEX | awk -F\| '{
printf("Port:\t%s\nPath:\t%s\nInfo:\t%s\nMaint:\t%s\nIndex:\t%s\nB-deps:\t%s\nR-deps:\t%s\n\n",
$$1, $$2, $$4, $$6, $$7, $$8, $$9); }'
(note the -i). This is so when people search for things, it's not case
sensitive. This Is A Good Thing (tm). Like when:
"make search key=netscape" you get:
Port: ko-netscape-3.01intl
Port: javac_netscape-1.0.1
Port: ru-netscape-3.01
Port: linux-netscape-4.03
Port: netscape-3.03
Port: netscape-4.03b8
"make search key=Netscape" and you get a totally different array of ports:
Port: ko-nhpf-1.42
Port: ko-nhppf-1.2
Port: javac_netscape-1.0.1
This might not seem so much, but it sure bugged the heck out of me trying
to find Big Brother, usign make search key=net, when the Big Brother
description had Net. (I should have just grep -i'd /usr/ports/INDEX, but
make search key=whatever outputs much more nicely).
BTW: If anyone is bored and is looking for a port to put in before 2.2.5,
vmount is a great idea.

real coders don't use comments. It was hard to write; it should be hard to read
