(Not copied to -ports simply for the wider audience) Ok folks, you asked for it, so there it is. I've just committed a port for WordPerfect, based on the port that OpenBSD have. The most notable difference between the two is that I managed to work out how to disable the request for the installation directory, and instead coerce it into always installing in $PREFIX/lib/corel. You still have to fetch the distfile manually; whilst it would be trivial to do this automatically it'd be in violation of Corel's mirroring license, which would set the wrong tone for the whole matter. Feedback would be welcome; this works here for me (install and uninstall) and it portlints, but the install is somewhat complex and I'm sure to have missed something... -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
