Makefiles are parsable (make -V). pkg_descr is only as free-form as we define it to be. It's a lot quicker to parse out the WWW entry from pkg_descr than it is to run 'make -V' to extract values from port Makefiles. That's because make includes and parses a whole stack of different files from /usr/ports/Mk and elsewhere and does a bunch of other processing -- takes about 200ms per port just to print out the variables used in the INDEX. So, unless the variable is needed as part of the build process for a port putting it in pkg_decr makes sense to me. This could include some well-known values like MAINTAINER if we want to go that far. Cheers, Matthew --=20 Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil.
