The only problem that BP> not all things fit into one category. Usually they are 'www/ftp'. Someone proposed net-transfer, which seems a good idea to me. In this way, things for fetching / uploading files / objects lives in net-transfer (regardless of protocol, even if they talk HTTP and HTTP only). Things still to live in www are indexers, browsers, probably http servers (even if they seem rather transfer-oriented), HTML preprocessors, etc. -- Rasmus Kaj ---------------- rasmus@kaj.a.se - http://www.e.kth.se/~kaj/ \ !07/11 PDP a ni deppart m'I !pleH \--------------------------------------------- http://www.Raditex.se/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
