This sucks, because there is no way to instruct package cluster to build language-specific packages. Properly constructed master and several slave ports would do it. In this case slave ports would contain a single Makefile with only several lines, most of which are the same across all slaves. > The single port can ask which languages are desired, fetch those > tarballs and install them... As far as I understood, there is only one 40MB tarball with all supported languages and it is the problem in question. -Maxim To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
