I notice that xmovie 1.5.2.1 is already in the ports collection (graphics/xmovie). The port used to use PATCH_SITES and PATCHFILES, which is usually better because: - fetch won't try to get patches from the MASTER_SITES, which are likely to be different from the PATCH_SITES. - ordinarily you don't need to write a post-extract target, because bsd.port.mk will uncompress and apply the patches for you. -- Trevor Johnson http://jpj.net/~trevor/gpgkey.txt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
