In fact, I will even supply a Makefile and some other stuff for the port. In fact, if you look in the LPRng-VERSION/DISTRIBUTIONS/FreeBSD directory you will even find the necessary stuff to generate a port: cd LPRng-VERSION/DISTRIBUTIONS/FreeBSD-4.ports.systutils.LPRng make portit and you will get a diff of the new version against the current one in /usr/ports/sysutils/LPRng. > > > --- > Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.acs.rpi.edu > Senior Systems Programmer or drosih@rpi.edu > Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute > Patrick Powell Astart Technologies, papowell@astart.com 9475 Chesapeake Drive, Suite D, Network and System San Diego, CA 92123 Consulting 858-874-6543 FAX 858-279-8424 LPRng - Print Spooler (http://www.astart.com) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
