I'd volunteer to work on that and/or a NICE AND COMPLETE explanation of all the (many, poorly documented) Makefile options for ports, given that they were cvsup'able so multiple people could work on it. I'd be willing to head up or at least start something like that. Speaking from the point of a relativly new porter/submitter/contributor/whatever the documentation is foggy sometimes at best and sometimes wrong at worse. It would make ALL our lives easier if these sort of docs existed. For example, count how many ports with NO_CONFIGURE or NO_PATCH we get in the next 6 months... thoughts? anyone? - bill fumerola [root/billf]@chc-chimes.com - computer horizons corp - - ph:(800)252.2421 x128 / bfumerol@computerhorizons.com - BF1560 - "Logic, like whiskey, loses its beneficial effect when taken in too large quantities" -Lord Dunsany To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
