* From: Anton Berezin <tobez@plab.ku.dk> * The striking example I can mention was when I installed a * port completely unrelated to perl (sorry, don't remember * which one) which happened to use perl in order to produce * some docs of itself. That time I already had 5.005_02 installed * from perl distribution. To my horror, the port happily began * to install 5.004_04; all that was actually needed was _some_ * perl5, and the port failed to recognize I already have one. That's because you were using the port that was verified (by us) for 5.004_04, or an old bsd.port.mk. Either way, it's a pilot error. :) Satoshi To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
