The following reply was made to PR ports/8285; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Bill Fumerola <billf@chc-chimes.com> To: rtaylor@csolve.net Cc: freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: ports/8285: New port (Eggdrop 1.3.21) Date: Mon, 12 Oct 1998 10:22:21 -0400 (EDT) Again, let me voice my concern, as this is really not a program that can be used effectivly systemwide, nonetheless, I will give my constructive comments.

Your changing of this will cause the MOTD, filesys, modules, etc to break because the default configuration file (which needs to be put in each users config file) EXPECTS these files to fall under the same directory where the eggdrop binary and the eggdrop config file is kept. I see no patch or sed/perl statement that fixes this problem. > X@dirrm eggdrop/doc/man1 This should have never been created. > X# New ports collection makefile for: Eggdrop s/Eggdrop/eggdrop/ > X# Version required: 1.3.21 > X# Date created: 9 Octover 1998 October. > X# Whom: rod > X# > X# $Id$ > X# > X > XDISTNAME= eggdrop1.3.21 > XPKGNAME= eggdrop1.3.21 This is redundant. > XCATEGORIES= net If you are using tcl (you are) you need to add tcl80 to the category list. > XMASTER_SITES= ftp://ftp.sodre.net/pub/eggdrop/GNU/ > XEXTRACT_SUFX= .tar.gz This is redundant. > XLIB_DEPENDS= tcl81.1:${PORTSDIR}/lang/tcl81 You're depending on the library?
