You might want to introduce other types of "ignore this package" directives later, for all we know. Otherwise, yes, it's a change I'm definitely for. See below. > entry made. For XFree86, Jordan already fixed it but we've gotten > enough "I have XFree86-3.3.3, why is it complaining about Actually, I didn't really fix it at all, I just added a hack to sysinstall which works around it in one specific (installation/upgrade) case. People who add X components afterwards by reading the XFree86 installation docs instead are still basically screwed since they won't know enough to extract the package registration tarball. Hmmm. If this goes into ports before 3.1 comes out, does that mean I can simply remove the hack? It would personally make me very happy since it would mean we could go back to pointing at the official XFree86 bits again rather than having our own cached-and-modified versions under ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD (which can go stale in the face of updates from the XFree86 project). - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
