EXCEPT alpha/4.9-RELEASE/ports - which is a symlink to the i386/4.9-RELEASE/ports if the ports directory is identical for all architectures within a release (i am assuming it is not across the releases) then all but the alpha/4.9-RELEASE is broken as they all shouldn't have separate directories - there should be just one directory in the i386 tree which everything else links back into. if the ports directory is *not* identical then everything is fine except for the alpha/4.9-RELEASE which is pointing into a different architecture's ports directory. regards, -jason
