Where will it go? How will we search for it? Will /usr/share/mk be used as a fall-back? As a Ports user, I'm not fond of this change.. as I don't usually ``cvs up ports'' but rather do it piecemeal. However, I do ``make world'' periodically. As a Maintainer, I applaud it and have been wanting it for a long time. You would not believe the amount of email I get from people trying to install my ports with an out-of-date bsd.port.mk. The bsd.port.{pre,post}.mk addition was particularly bad in this respect. -- -- David (obrien@NUXI.com -or- obrien@FreeBSD.org) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
