It's a cosmetic, useless thing but I like when things are made homogeneously. That is the problem : as you can see, sometimes port tells a message to the user but some maintainers used delimiters to begin/end the message such as a lot of "***" or "===" or blank spaces. If you already did use NetBSD pkgsrc, you can see that *every* MESSAGE is composed like this : =========================================================================== $NetBSD: MESSAGE,v 1.1.1.1 2008/10/20 09:28:51 wiz Exp $ Note you need audio/audacious-plugins to actually play music. =========================================================================== I would do something like this to the FreeBSD ports, if you agree with me I can check every messages and modify them. I can also put something in the FreeBSD porter's handbook to write a "pkg-message template" I know that there is much more important work to do, that's why I can take all this work for myself. Please report any feedback, With kind regards. -- Demelier David
