Uh. I only meant that it could not be referenced directly in the web-site documentation, because the <port> tag links to a pkg-descr file, which is non-existant in this case. In general, the sysutils/mkisofs port is a very much viable and used way to get mkisofs working. As a matter of fact, the src/release/i386/mkisoimages.sh script, used to build ISO images of the FreeBSD releases, tries to install exactly the sysutils/mkisofs port if no mkisofs binary is found on the system. IMHO, the correct fix in this case should be to fix the doc markup scheme, so that the <port> tag allows linking to another file instead of pkg-descr. I'll look into this later today. This would let us reference the mkisofs port properly. G'luck, Peter -- This sentence claims to be an Epimenides paradox, but it is lying.
