This could be odd for something like ports-mgmt/pkg if it currently uses = the base system version: needing to have had already built = security/openssl in order to build/use pkg. pkg tends to depend on the base system or have its own copies of things = so that it is largely self contained --at lest that is my general = understanding. I'm only using ports-mgmt/pkg as an illustration of an idea: I might be = wrong about it using openssl for example. There might be other things = besides ports-mgmt/pkg that might have such a relationship to the base = system, sort of a bootstrapping issue. I'll note that I sometimes use powerpc and/or powerpc64 where = source-based builds are required: no binary distributions are generally = available for ports for them. =3D=3D=3D Mark Millard markmi at dsl-only.net
