It should be assumed that he did it like the 30 other Makefiles that do the EXACT SAME FUCKING THING. When I upgrade my next port I will use as my commit message: "First I found out there was a new release of this software, then I downloaded it and regenerated the md5 checksum. After trying to compile it, I found some errors that weren't there before. So I made local changes and used diff -ruN foo.c.old foo.c to generate a patch that I placed in patches/. I used cvs add on this patch and then after tweaking the makefile, I fixed the packing list, boy was that a pain. After fixing some old errors, I'm now committing this with cvs ci" OR "Upgrade to x.y, make associated changes" I've done the latter ever since I got my commit bit. I am amazed at the petty shit that this list has sunk to bitching about. -- - bill fumerola - billf@chc-chimes.com - BF1560 - computer horizons corp - - ph:(800) 252-2421 - bfumerol@computerhorizons.com - billf@FreeBSD.org - To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
