I've posted there... A new subsection group: ports X11... WWW... DEVEL... maybe one DELETIONS ( a sticky or subsection) and/or PENDING DELETIONS ... and/or and deleted ports could be bought back again for those who find them useful, even if someone was reading about a years-ago removal. Pardiff (diffp ) comes to mind (just removed this week) I use the diffp binary for diffing ports-to-upgrade pipe results between days (diffp portlist.MON portlist.TUE) I suppose mergemaster.sh could even be updated to be more similar to the output of diffp. ..... gfontview...=20 ... Just puttting that idea onto the forum expansion, which maybe could solve problems quicker than PR's. For instance, as of now, textproc/po4a x11/roxterm devel/dconf all fail to build "failed to load exteral entity "http://docbook.sourceforg= e.net/release/ xsl/current/manpages/docbook.xsl" " and maybe if the forum had been expanded, threads (dconf po4a roxterm) woul= d have been started/updated explaining the fix, if anyone knew it.=20
