True, but only because people insist on holding onto their fear, uncertainty, and doubt. I wish this would stop. The access point to the cvsweb tree is from http://www.FreeBSD.ORG/support.html, which in turn is accessed from http://www.FreeBSD.ORG/. You don't need anything more than a passing idea of the purpose of cvs in order to use cvsweb. Maybe this should be emphasized on the support.html page? > (3) /handbook/porting.html doesn't mention that. Are you sure? You must not be using the latest and greatest version from ~10 minutes in the future. :-) If you're volunteering to write a page (even a text, non-html page) that lists the latest changes to bsd.port.mk, _AND_ to keep that page up-to-date, I'll happily find a place for it. -- This .sig is not innovative, witty, or profund.
