Do follow this list but hoping to find a general guideline for all ports along the lines "the log files generated by ports should be placed in /x/y/z" as we do in the porters handbook and hier(7) for configuration files, documentation, examples etc. Thanks for the comment, if I don't receive any other feedback I'll probably go with the port installation directory as you have with Orion. -- Calvin Varney To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
