If I ported a plugin, is it advisable to pull the distfile from > trunk? What about pulling a particular Subversion revision that is the way I did it I had a do-fetch target that fetched the subversion revision to a subdirectory in /usr/ports/distfiles then used tar to make a file-rev.tar.bz2. Then just carry on as normal. I do not want to clutter the list with this Makefile I could send to directly if you think it might help. > Also: is it a better idea to separate all of the plugins into > individual ports, or create a few ports that each install a particular > category of plugins?
