Rough estimate, what percentage of the MANUAL_PACKAGE_BUILD ports could be reasonably modified to avoid work nicely? What worries me about a scheme like the above is that the number of conflicting ports will increase too much ( -> more user complaints -> more PRs -> general chaos). I'm tempted to suggest that an automated system could just .if MAN_PKG_BUILD BROKEN=fix me! .endif But I don't want to see the job of fixing 90% of these ports get stuffed onto a couple people again... Not unless those couple people (who know who they are) really want that... ;-) PS. I liked the LOOP stuff. :) -- This .sig is not innovative, witty, or profund.
