Infact, since sometime in February, it's been the default to INCLUDE POP support: RCS file: /home/ncvs/ports/mail/mh/patches/patch-aa,v Working file: patch-aa [blah blah] revision 1.3 date: 1996/02/23 01:25:08; author: pst; state: Exp; lines: +8 -8 Fix shared library linking (again). Fix and enable pop support code. Fix and enable slocal msgid support code (eliminates duplicates) if .db file present. > Is there any way to build a port and have it stop just before it starts > building it? ie "make patch"?
