* Actually it has a bug too, it assumes src and ports are sitting * side by side. I caught this when you pointed on the symlink * from /usr/src/ports -> /usr/ports or where ever it may be. * * DO NOT apply my patch, it is not a general solution to the * problem :-(. And infact for anyone who has symlinked /usr/src * off some place will probably be the wrong solution :-(. * * Need more time to think about this to see if I can come up with * a real solution. Any ideas??? That's right, many people have /usr/src -> /a/src and /usr/ports -> /b/ports kinds of setups. The only way to "solve" this is to use the full pathname "/usr/ports" in there, but then it will screw up people who have src and ports side by side on a separate location. I'd prefer it nuked, it just doesn't belong here. Satoshi
