Which is a good example as - to my memory - it needs cvs to build. = Moving our CVS (and yes the base CVS has quite some modifications still I = think) into ports would probably mean taking the CVS history and run into a chicken and egg problem;-) We'll need "our" CVS probably for another 2-3 years I think as some = non-significant infrastructure will still depend on it even after docs and ports moved = away from it. Some others have suggested things like "lpd" however which could = probably go to ports as well as it's anther conflict these days for most people = using cups or similar anyway. I can think of more but we shouldn't be overly eager either or we'll end up with a README in src/ saying "please install the following ports;-)" /bz --=20 Bjoern A. Zeeb You have to have visions!
