OK, one more thing. As far as I know, updating bsd.port.mk
will require end users to do one of the following:
* cvsup and install bsd.port.mk from src/share/mk
* use cvsweb.cgi to download the correct revision of bsd.port.mk
* grab either
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD-stable/src/share/mk/bsd.port.mk OR
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD-current/src/share/mk/bsd.port.mk
depending
Seems like the latter is probably easiest for most users. Can you
think of any snafus or better alternatives before I write something
up saying ``do this to stay in sync with the ports collection''?
