In message <97Aug21.134334pdt.177512@crevenia.parc.xerox.com> Bill Fenner writes: : Adding the following to bsd.port.mk will give you a variable which is : the check-in date of the existing bsd.port.mk (this doesn't help people : who have their own CVS trees into which they check FreeBSD sources). I like the concept. However, I think that it would need to work with NetBSD and OpenBSD using the bsd.ports.mk files. I can think of two alternatives. 1) The mergers of those systems do this step manually. 2) FreeBSD checks in a version date that matches today each time bsd.port.mk is checked in. I do like the concept, especially since many ports are failing on OpenBSD because I've not kept the latest bsd.port.mk stuff merged into it very well. Warner
