With the advent of the conversion of HEAD to 10.0-CURRENT and, as to be expected, ports/ is going to be essentially unusable for a while. The issue stems from configure scripts (to choose something completely at random) assuming that FreeBSD would never jump to a double-digit major version number, and as such, various regexps for "freebsd1*" (ie: FreeBSD 1.1.x) are now matching "freebsd10". This is going to be some fairly fundamental breakage. However, until such time as 9.0-RELEASE is completely out of the door, with autotools hat on, I will _not_ be committing any changes to infrastructural ports to "fix" this. That is to say, until 9.0-R happens, and for some considerable period afterwards, ya'll can pretty much expect ports/ to be non-functional on HEAD. PRs mentioning this will be gleefully closed referencing this message. -aDe Reply-To set to me. Please honor it.
