I will make sure that we would continue to support that ability. I think it would be better to make it more explicit that those files are "local patches". For instance, we could pick up any files that are found in portname/localfiles/patches-* I have not thought about that too much yet, but I can see it is something that the pkg-data project would need to support. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu
