How? I don't undrestand what for we need a *third* port. I agree and was going to create two ports: server and client. > See for example > databases/postgresql83-(server|client).

You have just desribed what I was going to do (actually, has already done): create an openafs-sever (master) and openafs-client (a meta-port). >>> Have a look at the mysql-client, mysql-server and mysql >>> ports to see an example of how to do this sort of thing. >> >> I didn't manage to find a metaport for mysql... > > Works almost exactly the same as described for postgresql. :-) [1] ;-) WBR -- Boris Samorodov (bsam) Research Engineer, http://www.ipt.ru Telephone & Internet SP FreeBSD committer, http://www.FreeBSD.org The Power To Serve
