I don't think anything like this exists. No? Although Bill Fenner's distfile checker will tell us when it is so old that we can't get it anymore... :) For what you (and Tim in private mail :) are talking about maybe something like /usr/ports/sysutils/pib which was created by our very own Mike Smith would be appropriate. Or am I still out in the weeds? :) Steve # Brett # ****************************************************************** # Brett Taylor brett@peloton.physics.montana.edu # http://peloton.physics.montana.edu/brett/ # # "There is something uncanny in the noiseless rush of the cyclist, # as he comes into view, passes by, and disappears." # - Popular Science, 1891 # To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
