Does skip really need X windows in order to build? Is that really necessary? What about us poor sods that don't/can't run X? What's the best course of action to get skip installed? This is annoyingly similar to the webalizer issue (ports/16354). Are more and more ports [maintainers] assuming X? I don't think I understand the issue[s] enough to comment. -- Dan Langille - DVL Software Limited [I'm looking for more work] The FreeBSD Diary - http://www.freebsddiary.org/ NZ FreeBSD User Group - http://www.nzfug.nz.freebsd.org/ The Racing System - http://www.racingsystem.com/ unix @ home - http://www.unixathome.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
