Am I the only one who realized that this this is completely and totally off-topic for this list? Ports aren't part of FreeBSD. They are provided as a convenience for users. If you think some port should be changed, send mail to the maintainer of the port, which address can be obtained by doing "make -V MAINTAINER" in the port directory. If you think that some port is offensive and should be removed, mail the maintainer for that port, but don't expect much to happen. You're not forced to install any specific port. If we removed everything from the ports tree that offended someone, it would be nearly empty. I mean - I'm offended by the bloat in all the gnome and kde ports, so we can start with all of those! <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Q: How do you make the gods laugh?
