The included patch fixes this. Any particular reason why it's required? All of the Spread applications I've seen use the static libs, which the authors themselves recommend. I'd rather they were installed as libspread.so to avoid potential runtime conflict with the textproc/sp package but the upstream doesn't care very much about this :) OTOH maybe you have a demonstrable need for the .so's! Please follow up. Cheers Joshua (pkg maintainer) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
