Or is that not what you (Philip) meant? That's partly what I meant, but I realise now that not having separate ports might be an issue for make search and friends, as you say. As I said in another post a little while ago, that could be solved with mini-ports just building the main port with the correct options. My basic idea was to split Mozilla 'the program' from Mozilla 'the toolkit annex kitchen sink'. The Mozilla browser should clearly be in www/mozilla, and building that port should give a stable browser ready to go. A port that just needs a specific version of a specific bit of Mozilla should have a simple mechanism of just getting that bit, without needing the whole browser monster though. Hence the bsd.mozilla.mk and USE_MOZILLA idea. Hope this is a bit clearer than the original post :-o - Philip -- Philip Paeps Please don't CC me, I am subscribed to the list.
