Bill,

| (2) This patch depends on the work directories of those ports to exist.
|     The dependencies don't reflect this.

This was meant as a quick workaround. The current hylafax port is
not only BROKEN because of security issues (which were fixed as of
4.1beta2), but also because 4.0pl2 really depends on the tiff-3.4
libraries that went out of the port collection some time ago. Hylafax
4.0pl2 does strange things if linked against tiff-3.5.3 from ports-cur.
Again, this is a workaround for current FreeBSD hylafax users who
decided to live with the security issue.

The correct way to deal with this issue of course is to upgrade the
port to hylafax 4.1beta2 (which not only appears to be quite stable in
non-FreeBSD environments but also fixes the BROKEN issue) and crosscheck
that against current libtiff.

Take Matthias' mail as an informational message, please.

Regards,
Helge
