That seems like a comment on my third paragraph (which you didn't quote), if it was intended as an answer to the quoted paragraph, I may point out that doc/handbook/porting.sgml is the instructions for contributing a port, and line 177 of it is in the middle of an example of a pkg/DESCR file. You don't want to have to keep inserting 'WWW:' into every new port that comes in, do you? :-) Sorry if I didn't make myself clear enough ... Here's a suggested diff for porting.sgml, so you see what I'm talking about ... --- snip --- # diff -u -U 7 porting.sgml porting.sgml.suggestion --- porting.sgml Thu Feb 11 05:14:46 1999 +++ porting.sgml.suggestion Wed Jun 2 18:10:10 1999 @@ -110,15 +110,15 @@ <tscreen><verb> This is a port of oneko, in which a cat chases a poor mouse all over the screen. : (etc.) -http://www.oneko.org/ +WWW: http://www.oneko.org/ - Satoshi asami@cs.berkeley.edu </verb></tscreen> <sect3> <heading>PLIST</heading> --- snip --- -- Rasmus Kaj ---------------- rasmus@kaj.a.se - http://www.e.kth.se/~kaj/ \ !07/11 PDP a ni deppart m'I !pleH \--------------------------------------------- http://www.Raditex.se/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
