What are "sel", "msel", and "text"? version is for a change in the options. if the options don't change there is no point in presenting the options over and over again when updating and compiling. but if there is a change (options removed or added) the old saved options may be no more valid. so the user needs to choose again. sel, msel and text are some ideas for options that might be needed for some ports. maybe for language selection, themes, or whatever. dunno really. but i thought there may be a need for that. cheers simon -- /"\ http://corecode.ath.cx/#donate \ / \ ASCII Ribbon Campaign / \ Against HTML Mail and News --h=.qH2weRKqj_b?4 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE9PBQ2r5S+dk6z85oRAu2YAJ980GVfhFnwlAVQcdWwYBQ0pP/o0ACgn+24 9+YotkJkHUnWKZAQKZ9hbqM= =vctM -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --h=.qH2weRKqj_b?4-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
