'ello all. I was wondering if anybody is working on a port for the latest version of sudo. The vanilla distribution craps out in a yacc file and I'm afraid I don't know yacc syntax rules. Also, a couple problems that may want to be updated in future ports distributions: 1) The defaults for ytalk (executing 'make' from the /usr/ports/net/ytalk directory) assume that the machine has X installed (which my poor 386-40 with limited diskspace wont enjoy running). Easy enough to get around by just going into the work/ytalk directory and executing 'make' all by it's lonesome. Maybe a dependency check or a user question would fit the bill. 2) On my machine, making the pdksh-5.1.3 port hangs during the configure script while checking for mmap. From then on, anything that tries to access the directory where make was running loses terminal control. I was stupid and tried to enter the directory from all my virtual terminals leaving me with no way to shutdown the system except the three-fingered salute. I am running the 950412 snapshot and just supped the distribution yesterday (95/04/25). 3) Not really ports related, but when trying to install the pdksh-5.1.3 package (retrieved from freefall), it craps out on a call to one of the mtools exe's (I'll have to go back to see if I remember which one). More details available upon request. Cheers, -Wes wsantee@wsantee.oz.net
