[Redirect to ports@] Hi, good morning On Sun, Jan 28, 2001 at 02:25:29PM -0500, Donald J . Maddox wrote: > Hey, while your're in there, could you change this port to install > the client as well?

I have no idea why, since it's > there :) The dear dict client could be found net/dict. I think there's a sufficient reason. People who want the client may not want the server installed. For example, I have several BSD boxes around me. I only need one server and other machines could live well without server (and the fat fat, really bloated dictionary databases) installed. Errr, sounds weird, isn't ? In fact, I do think as what you think originally, until another committer tells me this reason :-) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
