It was brought to my attention that currently there is no way to see what a port depends on only by looking at the INDEX file. Although this is probably not a problem for a CD user, it can be quite annoying for Joe 14.4k modem user. Thus, I propose adding two more fields, ports required for building (FETCH_DEPENDS, BUILD_DEPENDS, LIB_DEPENDS, DEPENDS) and ports required for running (RUN_DEPENDS, LIB_DEPENDS, DEPENDS -- this one is identical to the @pkgdep lines in the package), to the ports/INDEX file. Of course, I'm assuming John will modify his webpage auto-update software to put this information on freefall's ports collection page. :) Satoshi
