Well, I'm sorry, but I think we'd rather clutter /usr/local/lib/ unnecessarily -- hier(7) clearly states that /usr[/local]/lib/ holds (exclusively ?) shared archive libraries; I can't think of netscape package as being a bunch of shared libraries... And besides, even the netscape installer has in the default path /opt/netscape and /usr/local/netscape, what's wrong with following this formula ? Also, if you personally prefer to install in the /lib/ directory you only need to change the NDIR line in the Makefile to reflect your option. Apart from the fact that I once submitted a communicator port with "NDIR=/usr/local/..." I don't believe that I'm subjective to my preferences but rather that I have good arguments; in the light of this I strongly suggest using 2) /usr/local/netscape-* ! > > -- > Yarema > Thank you, Ady (@freebsd.ady.ro) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
