* My copy back from the mailing list did not have any quoted-printable * rubbish in it, and yours only has it where your editor inserts its own * line-break. Therefore it must be happening at your end. * Oh, you are asking me to shorten my lines. ;) No, it's your side. I have been receiving mails with even longer lines and they don't get converted. This is probably not a big issue (it didn't happen to this mail, so maybe it's not a persistent problem on your side), but if you look at the mail archive on freefall, the mail that I complained about, and that one only (actually there is one more mail in the freebsd-ports archive that dates back to May 1995), has this in the headers: X-MIME-Autoconverted: from quoted-printable to 8bit by freefall.freebsd.org id WAA09716 that's why you didn't see the rubbish in the mailing-list copy. I don't know what the exact problem is, I can send you the header for both mails if you want to see. (The copy that came straight to me plainly said "quoted-printable", maybe I should get a MIME-aware mail reader.) * I think the same applies for 2.1.x as 2.2, right? As I understand it, * bsd.port.mk is a key component of the ports system, and whereas ports * cannot be guaranteed to build under a less than current system, it is * reasonable to allow ports to build where other changes to the system * do not prevent it. But freefall is not a ports build machine! ;) Let me see, when I upgrade a port, this is what I do. (on my machine or thud) cvs co portname cd portname <cut, paste, type, hack, slash> make fetch make makesum <some more cut, paste, type, hack, slash> make clean package make clean cvs -q diff -u | less cvs -q diff -u > t scp t freefall: (on freefall) cvs co portname cd portname patch -ps < ~/t cvs -q diff -u | less (just to be sure) cvs commit -m 'Upgrade, now it's at 1.2b3 and can display quoted-printables!' cd .. cvs -Q rel -d portname You see that "make makesum" usually happens on the ports building/testing machine, and it actually opens up a big hole if you aren't careful, if you do that on freefall? There. Now you explain me why you need bsd.port.mk on freefall. :) Satoshi
