Just my thoughts on the cscope port issue. I think having a port to help install some commercial software on FreeBSD is a good thing. After all, we have a port for Corel's WordPerfect and a port for Star Office. This is mainly because they are linux programs and we need to get things installed in the right place. Another example. I use XiG's Accelerated X. It has a native FreeBSD X server, but was written for 2.2.x. So the libraries are all a.out format. However the install program puts the a.out libs in /usr/X11R6/lib and _not_ in /usr/X11R6/lib/aout. So, after the install, I need to move lots of files around. I wish there was a port to help me install Accel X properly. So, if a program (both commerical and freeware) does not install smothly on FreeBSD, a port to help us is exactly what I want.
