There are 1078 Makefiles in my /usr/ports. I've conceded that I don't have the entire ports trees because japanese, korean, etc are irrelevant to me. Of those 1078 Makefiles, there are 59 references to the string "tk" in the CATEGORIES variable. There can be only 59 ports that have a problem with an obsolete tk.h. Only those 59 ports need to check for obsolete tk.h, while the other 1019 possible ports (yes, I know some Makefiles don't contain a CATEGORIES line) are completed oblivious to tk.h. cd /usr/ports/devel/tkcvs make (Oh damn, I have to waste 3 minutes checking for an obselete tk.h) cd /usr/ports/lang/egcs make (Boy, I'm tickled pink because I don't have to waste 3 minutes checking for an obselete tk.h) -- Steve finger kargl@troutmask.apl.washington.edu http://troutmask.apl.washington.edu/~clesceri/kargl.html To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
