When they just become "Doing it that way because we always done it" is no substitute for maintaining a tradition for a meaningful purpose. >=20 > In the past when this has been proposed the objection was that it would > cause too much churn.

We discussed this on portmgr@, and we have agreed it is time to make the change. We do request that this be done sparingly in the short term, as we do not want to cause any additional churn on the repo as we approach our upcoming Ports Feature Freeze, still tentatively scheduled for September 7. So please proceed only on existing updates. Please do not do any sweeping commits until we have the ports tree stablised post 9.1 tagging. Also bear in mind that Redports/QAT queues a job for every change done to a Makefile, we do not want to overburden the QAT at this time. It is important to allow this service to run at peek efficiency at this time to ensure it's full potential as we approach the upcoming Feature Freeze. So without further ado, this is what we would like to see at the top of the makefile # # $FreeBSD$ # PORTNAME=3D It is as easy as that :) Thomas on behalf of portmgr@ >=20 > Doug >=20 > --=20 >=20 > I am only one, but I am one.
