Too true, it's a PITA to update those modules, look for each depending ports, etc... | Maybe this situation would be better, if there was a passage in the | Porter's Handbook explaining this - or am I fighting windmills here? eik asked me if I could write up a passage for the Porter's Handbook to explain how to depend on a Perl module. Maybe it could be a collective work ;-) I think it's a PITA, but I also think we have to follow this damn path, the thing is that it'll add more work on the porter's hands, but we'll have a better freebsd at the end :-) -- Mathieu Arnold --==========C5F11A5EAA081864B6AB========== Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (MingW32) iQEVAwUBQRn7S1vROjYJ63c1AQKJJwf+O6NQm5SrT8Tr30gqrmdTFukaaIFeDZLw 8MI27leJjxRlt5KRmq3exVhbTfBL9Urf1mjxr+NsBSTiuAgAxBGckLRlVlTN5HIW U0LcemkgVUL1UKrm1vXMV2W9ljtFLfsoN/yix3hoppPjI7cYEQE6zlnYW7NI54/0 jcsOpWXl5Kmi5fV8MXdeWt3wIgLRvYWcCavFDCi0+oQ76Srah9rAvn0oifxGO3QL 6G5cOMfbOpbtd4i3HxzTFKFxb4QPYE+T+IcisLgvdhk7zpy/3In85bucWY/sZlkE a6852ofXp3k6nlIzcgK6yzmPscj6TNrsek1ooUIIecSYLHEl8iAtOw== =152k -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --==========C5F11A5EAA081864B6AB==========--
