I am also still confused by the RUN_DEPENDS logic (some of this logic is in the current bsd.port.mk). In certain cases we depend on bin/sh to be the marker, in other cases etc/redhat-release. This seems inconsistent. I wonder if this would cause problems if trying to install different versions? This logic also assumes that anything that isn't a partial portname or '7' should be the default. This seems wrong. IMHO after the test for '7' should be a test for 'yes', which sets whatever is the current default (currently 8). Any other value should set IGNORE. e.g. if someone mistypes USE_LINUX=rh-7 they shouldn't silently get an install dependency on 8; instead, the installation should fail. (And either the test should be made sufficiently robust to accept 'y' and 'YES' which occur in 2 ports, or those 2 ports should be changed to set the value 'yes'). mcl
