[ML] This would offer an advantage over the existing system only if all ports are updated to the new schema, which is a lot of work. shar approach could be easily mechanised, and requires no changes in the makefiles or the ports themselves. OTOH, shar offers no advantages to the folks who build all ports (or most of them) because they end up creating all directories anyway. I think Satoshi is the only such person :) /Marino > luigi > -----------------------------------+---------------------------------- > --- > Luigi RIZZO, luigi@iet.unipi.it .
