I am going to submit that PORTSBASE should be something other than /usr/local/. My current preference (though not solid) is /ports/. I would like to reclaim /usr/local for true local (site-based, not distribution-based) things. (Example: local [site-based] scripts in /usr/local/s?bin/.) On a related note, I would like to see maildirmake separated out as a port of its own on which ports supporting Maildir depend. That way we avoid clunkiness like "/usr/local/bin/maildrop-maildirmake". (The first point most recently evidenced itself as "where do I put a symbolic link to maildrop-maildirmake called maildirmake?".) Thanks, Jim Trigg
