Subject: Re: Rationale for moving *.port.mk to Mk?

 * 
 * Can someone explain the rationale for moving *.port.mk files
 * to ${PORTSDIR}/Mk?
 * 
 * The Makefiles under the FreeBSD src tree do not include a target
 * to update these files.   There appears to be no way to have these
 * files updated with a "make world".

That's the way it's supposed to be.  The port .mk files are supposed
to be synchronized more with the ports tree, not the source tree.  If
you cvsup ports, then they will be updated automatically.

By the way, anyone out there who's cvsupping ports *and* not getting
the Mk files -- add "ports-base" to your cvsupfile, that is one
collection you definitely don't want to miss as it includes all the
toplevel files.
