https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=273341 --- Comment #7 from Fernando Apesteguía <fernape@FreeBSD.org> --- (In reply to Graham Perrin ◐ from comment #6) > If there's no value, then why do so many meta ports describe themselves as > such? For several reasons. One is that we had metaports way before we had USES=metaport Another reason is that it doesn't hurt. That is not the same as to say that it adds any value. So far you have failed to provide any reason as to why this should be in the documentation. > The suggestion is intended to make things fairly easy, fairly obvious, You fail again to explain *what* is made easier and more obvious. What value adds the fact the the user is aware that a port is a metaport by looking at the description? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.home | help
