Having spoken with jkh, it's almost certain that -ports support for anything other than 4.x and 5.x will be dropped with the coming of 4.3-RELEASE -- I'm still waiting from asami-san to confirm this. Most -ports developers/maintainers do not have 3.x boxes to test things on any more. > - is installing /usr/share/mk from 4.2-STABLE a dirty hack? Yes. But as with all dirty hacks, it probably works. Though you should keep a copy of the 3.x /usr/share/mk around just in case other oddities occur elsewhere. -aDe -- Ade Lovett, Austin, TX. ade@FreeBSD.org FreeBSD: The Power to Serve http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
