Hi, As I was browsing thru the questions mailing list just now, I thought of something that might improve the ease of use of our ports/packages system. It seems to me it would be helpful if packages included a quick summary of any options used to compile the package and anything else that isn't included in the packages, but is present in the port (or vice versa?). For example - the authentication bits in Squid) I've come across problems several times where I couldn't get something to work because I'd installed the package rather than the port and I've seen questions from others with the same problem. What do you think? Cheers, Ian To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
