Though I guess putting DESCR in the > Makefile wouldn't be so hard... hmm... Agreed. I am now looking at syncing our ports tree as much as possible with NetBSD (and by association, OpenBSD), so that as and when OpenPackages happens, we will be able to call upon (though not necessarily get :), the combined experience of the ports teams of all three BSDs, which in of itself is a good PR exercise.
