I consider myself a relatively naive user and I don't think I find porting to be too knowledge intensive. I think, if you wanted really wanted to make it less knowledge-intensive it'd be necessary to modify bsd.port.mk to handle a much larger myriad of situations. From extracting shar files to automatically installing manpages. FWIW, I thought the searching-bsd.port.mk-to-see-what-do-extract-is-doing part (and co.) was fun. -- Outnumbered? Maybe. Outspoken? Never! tIM...HOEk
