To use, apply patch. Pick a port and edit the option descriptions to be longer than 49 characters. Then run 'make config'. Notes: This patch only does descriptions for the plain options right now. Changes to the multi and single options would be the same thing. (Not done because I'm hoping someone better at make(1) will have cleaner methods.) There's a cosmetic problem. The last description line at the bottom of the screen remains after dialog exits. I have not found a way to clear it in dialog. ---902635197-1832517-1339441422=:84255 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII; name=patch-bsd.port.mk-helpline.diff Content-Transfer-Encoding: BASE64 Content-ID: <alpine.BSF.2.00.1206111303400.84255@wonkity.com> Content-Description: Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=patch-bsd.port.mk-helpline.diff LS0tIGJzZC5wb3J0Lm1rLm9yaWcJMjAxMi0wNi0xMSAwODo1Mzo0My4wMDAw MDAwMDAgLTA2MDANCisrKyBic2QucG9ydC5tawkyMDEyLTA2LTExIDEyOjUw OjA4LjAwMDAwMDAwMCAtMDYwMA0KQEAgLTYwMTcsMTEgKzYwMTcsMTQgQEAN CiAuaWYgIXRhcmdldChwcmUtY29uZmlnKQ0KIHByZS1jb25maWc6DQogX0NP TVBMRVRFX09QVElPTlNfTElTVDo9CSR7QUxMX09QVElPTlN9DQorVklTX1dJ RFRIPQk0OQ0KIC5mb3Igb3B0IGluICR7QUxMX09QVElPTlN9DQorJHtvcHR9 X0ZJUlNUIT0JJHtFQ0hPfSAkeyR7b3B0fV9ERVNDOlF9IHwgJHtBV0t9IC1G PSJcMDA0IiAneyBPUlM9IiI7IHByaW50IHN1YnN0cigkJDAsMSwke1ZJU19X SURUSH0pOyBpZiAobGVuZ3RoKCQxKT4ke1ZJU19XSURUSH0pe3ByaW50ICIr In0gfScNCiske29wdH1fUkVTVCE9CSR7RUNIT30gJHske29wdH1fREVTQzpR fSB8ICR7QVdLfSAtRj0iXDAwNCIgJ3sgcHJpbnQgc3Vic3RyKCQkMCwke1ZJ U19XSURUSH0rMSkgfScNCiAuICBpZiBlbXB0eShQT1JUX09QVElPTlM6TSR7 b3B0fSkNCi1ERUZPUFRJT05TKz0JJHtvcHR9ICIiJHske29wdH1fREVTQzpR fSBvZmYNCitERUZPUFRJT05TKz0JJHtvcHR9ICIiJHske29wdH1fRklSU1Q6 UX0gb2ZmICIiJHske29wdH1fUkVTVDpRfQ0KIC4gIGVsc2UNCi1ERUZPUFRJ T05TKz0JJHtvcHR9ICIiJHske29wdH1fREVTQzpRfSBvbg0KK0RFRk9QVElP TlMrPQkke29wdH0gIiIkeyR7b3B0fV9GSVJTVDpRfSBvbiAiIiR7JHtvcHR9 X1JFU1Q6UX0NCiAuICBlbmRpZg0KIC5lbmRmb3INCiAuZm9yIG11bHRpIGlu ICR7T1BUSU9OU19NVUxUSX0NCkBAIC02MDY5LDcgKzYwNzIsNyBAQA0KIC5l bmRpZg0KIAlAVE1QT1BUSU9OU0ZJTEU9JCQobWt0ZW1wIC10IHBvcnRvcHRp b25zKTsgXA0KIAl0cmFwICIke1JNfSAtZiAkJHtUTVBPUFRJT05TRklMRX07 IGV4aXQgMSIgMSAyIDMgNSAxMCAxMyAxNTsgXA0KLQkke0RJQUxPR30gLS1j aGVja2xpc3QgIk9wdGlvbnMgZm9yICR7UEtHTkFNRTpDLy0oW14tXSspJC8g XDEvfSIgMjEgNzAgMTUgJHtERUZPUFRJT05TfSAyPiAkJHtUTVBPUFRJT05T RklMRX0gfHwgeyBcDQorCSR7RElBTE9HfSAtLWl0ZW0taGVscCAtLWNoZWNr bGlzdCAiT3B0aW9ucyBmb3IgJHtQS0dOQU1FOkMvLShbXi1dKykkLyBcMS99 IiAyMSA3MCAxNSAke0RFRk9QVElPTlN9IDI+ICQke1RNUE9QVElPTlNGSUxF fSB8fCB7IFwNCiAJCSR7Uk19IC1mICQke1RNUE9QVElPTlNGSUxFfTsgXA0K IAkJJHtFQ0hPX01TR30gIj09PT4gT3B0aW9ucyB1bmNoYW5nZWQiOyBcDQog CQlleGl0IDA7IFwNCg== ---902635197-1832517-1339441422=:84255--
