A "make install" for the teTeX port will hang after printing the "Generating temporary packing list" phase. I think (based on examining the process table) that one of the texconfig invocations in post-install is hanging or waiting for input. Removing the definition of this variable results in a successful install. >Fix: I think the best thing to do would be to try to sanitize the environment as a part of the build process, but I'm not sure what variables need this treatment. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
