++ 31/08/01 20:35 -0700 - Trevor Johnson: | When I discussed this with the maintainer, he pointed out that | INIT.2001-01-01.0000.tgz would be needed for ports of the other "ast" | software, and having it under a ksh93/ directory would be unsuitable if it | were needed by the other ports. My response was that if such ports are | made, having a separate ast-init port, on which they would all depend, | would be the most desirable arrangement. Yes, we had the same conversation as well. I agreed with Christian, but I wasn't thinking from the viewpoint that one might want to go into /usr/ports/distfiles and selectively clean things up. I guess I'm still not sure. Maybe we could just have DIST_SUBDIR= ast? | Is my idea that someone would want to selectively tidy up distfiles just | totally whacked? No, not at all. Right now, I use 'portsclean -Di' from knu's portupgrade to clean up old unreferenced distfiles. Maybe I can learn enough ruby to implement a more general option to delete all distfiles and have an interactive mode so users can see what port made each distfile & choose to delete or not. | Best regards. | -- | Trevor Johnson -pete -- Pete Fritchman <petef@databits.net> finger petef@databits.net for PGP key To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
