In the hopes of providing a standardized way for documenting Makefile build options (hint hint), it seems excessive to have a files directory for every port. Maybe mail/mailman/pkg-mk-opts instead? Port metadata should reside in the main directory. -sc -- Sean Chittenden To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
