We are talking different things. I'd like to see a Copyright file in each of the port directories even when they're sparse, so I don't have to ftp the tarball from wherever before I can read the copyright. We can check a ports' license as soon as the commit message arrives then without having to build the thing first. We're not all on T1's :-) If we fix the mk file so that it refuses to do anything if it can't fine this file then we can assure that porters create it. -- Paul Richards, Bluebird Computer Systems.
