I thought about those for quite a while. I ended up deciding that while they are technically part of bind, the most likely reason why someone would want to remove bind is if they are replacing the *name server* with something else (eg, djbdns), and they would probably be surprised if {nslookup, dig, host, dnsquery} disappeared. The best solution might be to tag those four as freebsd-base-bind-client... as I said, this was a one-day hack job with all sorts of rough edges. If you want to count those as part of freebsd-base-bind, just remove the COMPONENT= lines from their respective Makefiles; they'll inherit the -bind tag from usr.sbin/named/Makefile.inc. > isn't the freebsd- prefix enough?

Well, the ports tree already has "freebsd-games", "freebsd-uucp", and "freebsd-update"; it might be confusing if the -base- were omitted. Better to err on the side of verbosity. Colin Percival
