We'll have to see how many ports will build with clang whether we want to change the default ports compiler to clang, but even if we do we'll have to stay with gcc for non-clang archs and older FreeBSD versions. -erwin --=20 Erwin Lansing (o_ _o) http://droso.org Ceterum censeo \\\_\ /_/// Carthaginem esse delendam <____) (____> erwin@lansing.dk --/mvwczta11gu4fnM Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFNgIzzqy9aWxUlaZARAhZoAJsHSQJappPuUc7v3wAK8QmbVVxMDQCfUuhx TfhMpFNWn5zkrmksbMNPe2k= =/gKs -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --/mvwczta11gu4fnM--
