There is even a PR (ports/14741) that combines all the dictionaries into a single port. The problem with this is that during package building we only get one of the dictionaries built. So all the others never make it on the CDs pressed by Walnut Creek and company. There was an attempt at providing 'batch' capabilities to building packages that would allow a single port to build many packages but I'm pretty sure that has gone away as it was causing many problems. I personally don't mind having all the *-ispell ports around. What is "not right" about the current ports is all the duplication of effort. Working up something like the mule-common ports or even the ja-ptex-pkfonts* ports would reduce this duplication and leave little more than a Makefile in the satellite ports. Alexander was the originator of aforementioned PR. Maybe between us, we can workup a solution that everyone is happy with? :) -steve To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
