I'll comply, but, in case I dod not make myself clear, I am buiding these packages under current, not stable. My procedure is simple, ans I belive follows the guidelines in the handbook: a. Run cvsup to update local depository b. cd /usr/ports;cvs update -P -d c. cd /usr/ports/class/package d. make && make package If that fails, on my machine, and not on yours, does it prove the port to be correct? My humble opinion is that it proves it to be incorrect. Now, if the purpose is to have binary packages available, then you are right. If, on the other hand, the purpose is to have a FreeBSD port that builds correctly, on any FreeBSD machine, you may want to look at my postings. Since I started this excercise, I improved my procedure, and will continue to do so. The ``it works here'' is very useful, up to a point. ---------- Sincerely Yours, Simon Shapiro Shimon@Simon-Shapiro.ORG Voice: 503.799.2313 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
