If you're talking about the issue that the OP asked about, NO_PACKAGE is not in any way relevant. If you're talking about some theoretical issue regarding that knob and the creation of ports by portmaster: 1. There are only about 125 ports that have that knob 2. They are almost all games or things that don't make sense to package anyway 3. There is already a mechanism to handle it if the user really wants to package it anyway So I'm not concerned. :) Doug -- Nothin' ever doesn't change, but nothin' changes much. -- OK Go Breadth of IT experience, and depth of knowledge in the DNS.
