I would perhaps at least eliminate some of the frequent 'port XXX won't compile and it complains about objformat...' Though trying to eliminate the other problems (install-info, ldconfig) would be something to look into, but other then testing for the release the user is using, I can't think of anything of the top of my head. Also, on the subject of documentation, I have been working on that Makefile variable/macro documentation (Hi Tim!), and hopefuly will have that finished in a couple weeks. - bill fumerola [root/billf]@chc-chimes.com - computer horizons corp - - ph:(800)252.2421 x128 / bfumerol@computerhorizons.com - BF1560 - "Logic, like whiskey, loses its beneficial effect when taken in too large quantities" -Lord Dunsany To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
