I'm not against a FreeBSD category if it holds FreeBSD specific (real) ports such as the one you mentioned (and not forgetting linux_kdump, linux_base and linux_devtools of course). But then again, it will not always be the most logical category to hold things and having only a proper subset of the FreeBSD specific ports in that category will immediately undermine the reason for having such a category. -- Marcel Moolenaar mailto:marcel@scc.nl SCC Internetworking & Databases http://www.scc.nl/ The FreeBSD project mailto:marcel@FreeBSD.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
