Having never created a port before, this may take a > few hours :-) It's fun & easy! :-) When I did the skip port, the only difficulty I ran into is the requirement that you split the patch into separate 1-file-per-patch patchfiles... that port patches ~70 files. I wrote a little program called 'diffburst' to do this, given the input from "diff -u -r ...". Lemme know if you want it (should I commit it to tools?) Also, "make install; make deinstall" tells you if your PLIST is incorret. I think there's something called "portlint" but I don't know anything about it. -Archie ___________________________________________________________________________ Archie Cobbs * Whistle Communications, Inc. * http://www.whistle.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
