It's easy to fix. Please see # # Porter's Handbook *is* incomplete, even if it shouldn't be. # A lot of knobs/macros/options are not documented. Unfortunalty # committers don't have time to write add-ons or new chapters. I know. I am a (src/doc) committer without time :-) But what's more important: the ports fury has the knowledge about the internals of EXTRACT_DEPENDS, while I have not. # Feel free to submit patches ! The point of submitting the PR in the first place was to get the right people involved to do the Right Thing. I know from experience that the ports system can be fragile. So I want the ports powers to address this documentation issue. Regards, Jens -- Jens Schweikhardt http://www.schweikhardt.net/ SIGSIG -- signature too long (core dumped)
