FreeBSD thrintun.hactrn.net 6.4-STABLE FreeBSD 6.4-STABLE #43: Wed Jun 10 09:03:37 EDT 2009 sra@thrintun.hactrn.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/THRINTUN i386
>Description:
/usr/ports/Mk/bsd.gecko.mk includes a check for bind ports installed in overwrite-base mode, and refuses to build if they are installed. In my experience, this check is completely bogus, and the only build problem I see is that I have to comment out this freaking test every time I csup my ports tree.
I don't know what problem this was intended to solve, but from where I'm standing it's just a gratuitous failure. Please consider removing it.
If there is a real problem here, please consider reporting it to the BIND ports maintainer (or to ISC, if you think it's a BIND bug).
>How-To-Repeat:
Install bind96-base* port, then try to build firefox, thunderbird, etc. Then comment out the silly check and watch the compilation succeed.
>Fix:
Remove the silly check:
