The cluster builds things marked BROKEN to try to test if the build problem has been resolved since the marker was laid down (perhaps by some change in some other piece of software.) The cluster will not build things marked IGNORE. IGNORE should be used for things such as "you need to have the kernel source handy before attempting to build." That's the main difference between the two. Casual users don't notice the difference; either way, the port will refuse to install itself. mcl
