What I'm looking for is a place I can put ports I'm working on until they are ready for submission, without having them overwritten each time I cvsup my ports tree (daily cron job) Setting aside something like /usr/ports/local would be nice, or is there a better option? cheers Tim -- | The most exciting phrase to | Tim Aslat | | hear in science, the one that | http://www.spyderweb.com.au | | heralds new discoveries, is | Spyderweb Consulting | | not "Eureka!"
