Greetings, Thanks for the update. My pleasure to work on it, really. Anyway, I looked into the files is /usr/ports/Mk and realised that there are others prefixes too like -esound, -glib, ... then there are more stuff like apache/mod_ssl/php ... It gets way complicatd. Glad to know someone better at it is working on it. Regards, /calvin lines with :> are quotes from Bruce A.
