That would make it easier for portlint too. Yes, FreshPorts has no way of knowing that port X is a slave of port Y. Which means it has no way of knowing to refresh the slave port information when the master port is updated. FWIW" Some ports also do an include of the master port. IIRC, I found at least four methods used to implement slave ports. -- Dan Langille : http://www.langille.org/ BSDCan - http://www.bsdcan.org/
