I think installed ports should record the distfiles used to install them, that way when a port is upgraded the old now useless distfiles can be automagically deleted. I'd love to supply patches for this but the learning curve to actually facilitate this looks too steep for someone not very familiar with ports/packages/portupgrade. thanks, -- -Alfred Perlstein [alfred@freebsd.org] 'Instead of asking why a piece of software is using "1970s technology," start asking why software is ignoring 30 years of accumulated wisdom.'
