The logs has been bloated (~600 * broken ports in the list - sic!) with false alarms and it is now very difficult * to differentiate really broken ports from those that just adds several subdirs * into locale directory. Which ones are false alarms? * I propose to more ports with "Extra" problem into * separate list. Hey, I had them on a separate list for months but nobody (ok, hardly anybody -- jmz and others did fix some :) seemed inclined to fix anything! :> After looking through the list myself, I am thinking about making the change permanent instead of just during the mid-week builds like I said originally. As I pointed out in the announcement a few days ago, unless the error is made fatal it is extremely hard to figure out which port is the culprit that leaves extra directories behind. (Port A leaves directory behind -- port B depends on A - pkg_add A and pkg_delete A leaves same directory -- same directory shows up on port B's extra list.) Also, there are some errors that really should be fixed ASAP (for example, missing some installed files in PLIST). Granted, a lot of those are just a couple of benign directories left behind, but those are not hard to fix anyway.
