[0]I believe Andrew has fixed cern_httpd and Frank has an old ports dirctory. I said this in the report and it is still true - the ports files came from freebsd.cdrom.com THAT DAY - I didn't even have "old" stuff (I had to make the ports directory on that system because it didn't have one) and didn't have any of the CD-ROMs mounted. If the ports files are wrong, then they are wrong at freebsd.cdrom.com/pub/FreeBSD/ports/*. I have not looked lately to see if the files on freebsd.cdrom.com were updated, but since the files pulled down themselves have bad pointers (like where the online help is supposed to be and it isn't), some work is necessary in several places.
