I've read about 50 of them and it doesn't seems to be any problem.

No, Google does it each second :) Marking them NO_CDROM, NO_PACKAGE should be safe enough, I think. > > The SKIN_PORTS I want to included from a file (it's commented out in the > > Mkefile, not complete, it should be PORTNAME.PORTVERSION so that the > > meta-port can RUN_DEPEND on some file to know when a port have changed) > > Anyway, wouldn't it be better to have just one (or a couple of) > collection(s) instead of a huge number of slave ports? On the second thought you are right, since the name -> option doesn't usually provide any hint about the skin. And have options just for the categories.

Yeh ? didn't managed. > Repackaging seems like a viable solution here. Just that I'm not sure I want to host 100MB of skins for download ;) I have no problems with portindex or dspam, but they are much smaller and more useful.
