The result is that the port is no longer packagable: > ====>> Ignoring arabic/arabtex: License LPPL10 needs confirmation, but BATCH is defined > build of /usr/ports/arabic/arabtex ended at Mon Mar 17 16:12:44 PDT 2014 >From a quick conversation on IRC, I got the idea that the license was correct and many more Tex packages should also have this license. If/when that happens, does that mean Tex packages are only to be built from source? Is it correct that LPPL10 can't be built in a batch? The impact for DPorts is pretty high because a requirement for a dport is that it can produce a binary package so right now it looks like I have to prune arabtex. John
