* From: Philip Hallstrom <philip@adhesivemedia.com> * Hmm... must be me... actually... it's 3.2-19990615-STABLE, not sure where * the port stuff is at (shouldn't it complain though if my "port * foundation" is out of sync???)... Yeah, that's the problem. If you have a bsd.port.mk that's too new, it will complain since we know what could be missing, but if it's too old, it doesn't know what's going on (it's hard to expect a June 1999 bsd.port.mk to predict what we'd be doing in April 2000!). I hoped moving bsd.port.mk to /usr/ports/Mk from /usr/share/mk would eliminate these problems. It has been reduced but not completely gone as it's been evident the past couple of weeks. I've thought about adding some sort of "timeout" in bsd.port.mk, so users will have to upgrade their ports-base collection from time to time, to ensure they will all have a reasonably new bsd.port.mk. What do you guys think? Satoshi To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
