These patches are a separate package, that is not covered by the ports collection yet. I use the huge eawpatches 12 collection with about 30 MB data. This data is in a directory in my homedirectory. To make timidity++ work (which comes with an empty /usr/local/share/timidity) directory I remove the directory and make a symlink to /home/andreas/music/eawpatches. On every new installation of timidity++ the installing process kills my symlink and replaces it with an empty directory again. If you upgrade with portupgrade -a or recompile using portupgrade -afR then timidity++ stops working because of this. It would be fine if timidity++ installation would honour the symlink to actual data ... 2nd issue ... the port additionally installs /usr/local/lib/timidity. This is redundant and not usefull, this directory should be killed. >How-To-Repeat: install timidity++ cd /usr/local/share rmdir timidity ln -s /home/andreas/music/eawpatches timidity [ now delete the timidity++ port using pkg_delete and then again install timidity++ ] Then you'll see that the symlink is away. Am not sure (didnt look so deep) if pkg_delete or make install (of the port) is the culprit here. >Fix: no fix. sorry. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
