OpenBSD don't even try to make their "bundled software" comply with the rest of the system build architecture - they basically just import the perl distribution into gnu/usr.bin/, munge some of the build bits, and let the software build the way it wants to. Needless to say, thats not an acceptable style for FreeBSD, not to mention probably breaking certain features we support such as cross-compilation :-) Kris ---- In God we Trust -- all others must submit an X.509 certificate. -- Charles Forsythe To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
