With all the permutations of the postfix-current port I'm about to commit, that will be one postfix port, with 20 slave ports. I think that's excessive and shows a weakness in the current system. Furthermore, I really don't care what work has gone on in the past because it obviously isn't in place and in use right now, which is what matters. I'll be a happy man when I can do RUN_DEPENDS= /var/db/postfix+foo+bar+baz:${PORTSDIR}/mail/postfix,WITH_FOO,WITH_BAR (I don't care about the grammar/syntax, but it should be obvious what I'm trying to accomplish here.) -- Bill Fumerola - Network Architect, BOFH / Chimes, Inc. billf@chimesnet.com / billf@FreeBSD.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
