I believe moves are afoot to add similar behaviou= r to some other ports management tools. Also: pkg_info -Dx portname=20 is a command that should be more widely known and used. > Maybe they should add an addendum to the Porter's Handbook > describing that. If you send an e-mail to freebsd-doc@... or send-pr with some suggested t= ext, it or something similar is fairly likely to be incorporated. Even better= if you send a patch against the Docbook sources, but on the whole just havin= g some suggested text to work with is acceptable. Although right now is ma= ybe not the best time as I think the docs slush preparatory to 7.2-RELEASE is= imminent, if not already here...
