So I guess the 1 million dollar question is > "How do the ports programmer know what dependencies a package need?" that > is all :) thx guys. I believe they just get the application and then do the reading. The develo= per of every application will say what other apps it will require to run. If you write a perl program, you do say what modules it will require for it to per= form a certain operation, don't you? #!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use Digest::MD5; use bla::blah; Same thing as what the application developer says. So for starters, cd /usr/ports/net/gaim make all-depends-list Try to investigate what the target 'all-depends-list' does. For more details, get the Porter's Handbook.

He apparently fell backward by accident on a dozen salad forks. Simultaneously the true heir, his son Carotene, mysteriously fled the city, complaining of some sort of plot and a lot of threatening notes left on his breakfast tray. At the time, this looked suspicious what with his father's death, and Carotene was suspected of foul play. Then the rest of the King's relatives began to drop dead one after the other in an odd fashion. Some were found strangled with dishrags and some succumbed to food poisoning. A few were found drowned in the soup vats, and one was attacked by assailants unknown and beaten to death with a pot roast. At least three appear to have thrown themselves backward on salad forks, perhaps in a noble gesture of grief over the King's untimely end. Finally there was no one left in Minas Troney who was either eligible or willing to wear the accursed crown, and the rule of Twodor was up for grabs. The scullery slave Parrafin bravely accepted the Stewardship of Twodor until that day when a lineal descendant of Carotene's returns to reclaim his rightful throne, conquer Twodor's enemies, and revamp the postal system. -- Harvard Lampoon, "Bored of the Rings" --u3/rZRmxL6MmkK24 Content-Type: application/x-pkcs7-signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="smime.p7s" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 MIIIpQYJKoZIhvcNAQcCoIIIljCCCJICAQExCzAJBgUrDgMCGgUAMAsGCSqGSIb3DQEHAaCC BikwggLiMIICS6ADAgECAgMK3KkwDQYJKoZIhvcNAQEEBQAwYjELMAkGA1UEBhMCWkExJTAj BgNVBAoTHFRoYXd0ZSBDb25zdWx0aW5nIChQdHkpIEx0ZC4xLDAqBgNVBAMTI1RoYXd0ZSBQ ZXJzb25hbCBGcmVlbWFpbCBJc3N1aW5nIENBMB4XDTAzMTAwNDA4MzU0MloXDTA0MTAwMzA4 MzU0MlowQzEfMB0GA1UEAxMWVGhhd3RlIEZyZWVtYWlsIE1lbWJlcjEgMB4GCSqGSIb3DQEJ ARYRd2FzaEB3YW5hbmNoaS5jb20wggEiMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBAQUAA4IBDwAwggEKAoIBAQDj LEll50c7ieFwNjBB+zKmFlkslzsR/Dl/uSuDZppsXrbF50H0rnUr5sjOUyy/I8Y/d1lEBIl9 pnCGZEZRpgnZYaEoy3epi9G2xU/UyT5sNQ3M0Oub5LtiahXCWTVQUYut7d972O3QeTXBqvJN uUHnijthdBZ575N9n6niGrXSTJkZieIYc3TU7APlAf1c4B7n+ye62fRqceRPmYO9675wIT+V rTLuXSlAMzOiuNMKD4fiEZ5JwxnshnOyfjpLJg78ISjl86YYhvwHMnOOQI1hfrndhi9dR4tj xJ01UA7PReoRPEVbq/r/hHtAKj7t/nMC4J1ExEBEqTdREFjQMYffAgMBAAGjQTA/MBEGCWCG SAGG+EIBAQQEAwIFoDAcBgNVHREEFTATgRF3YXNoQHdhbmFuY2hpLmNvbTAMBgNVHRMBAf8E AjAAMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBBAUAA4GBAApA1MhFESmSeJeNrNeIPOZRyZ1Zpcwy81Wyh88A0I2v ZZamU2QRP+sbz+lwfxVdSImCZ7foOQYj9bemCrGmVhHN3uiiyWVUudD8INpH9pJmrDiWFlrZ HzHXK1CpXrHbjnC8Qx91ibhYrqdvSWaKA7TfKadFIqe+gLgB3JHTD/JAMIIDPzCCAqigAwIB AgIBDTANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQUFADCB0TELMAkGA1UEBhMCWkExFTATBgNVBAgTDFdlc3Rlcm4g Q2FwZTESMBAGA1UEBxMJQ2FwZSBUb3duMRowGAYDVQQKExFUaGF3dGUgQ29uc3VsdGluZzEo MCYGA1UECxMfQ2VydGlmaWNhdGlvbiBTZXJ2aWNlcyBEaXZpc2lvbjEkMCIGA1UEAxMbVGhh d3RlIFBlcnNvbmFsIEZyZWVtYWlsIENBMSswKQYJKoZIhvcNAQkBFhxwZXJzb25hbC1mcmVl bWFpbEB0aGF3dGUuY29tMB4XDTAzMDcxNzAwMDAwMFoXDTEzMDcxNjIzNTk1OVowYjELMAkG A1UEBhMCWkExJTAjBgNVBAoTHFRoYXd0ZSBDb25zdWx0aW5nIChQdHkpIEx0ZC4xLDAqBgNV BAMTI1RoYXd0ZSBQZXJzb25hbCBGcmVlbWFpbCBJc3N1aW5nIENBMIGfMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEB AQUAA4GNADCBiQKBgQDEpjxVc1X7TrnKmVoeaMB1BHCd3+n/ox7svc31W/Iadr1/DDph8r9R zgHU5VAKMNcCY1osiRVwjt3J8CuFWqo/cVbLrzwLB+fxH5E2JCoTzyvV84J3PQO+K/67GD4H v0CAAmTXp6a7n2XRxSpUhQ9IBH+nttE8YQRAHmQZcmC3+wIDAQABo4GUMIGRMBIGA1UdEwEB /wQIMAYBAf8CAQAwQwYDVR0fBDwwOjA4oDagNIYyaHR0cDovL2NybC50aGF3dGUuY29tL1Ro YXd0ZVBlcnNvbmFsRnJlZW1haWxDQS5jcmwwCwYDVR0PBAQDAgEGMCkGA1UdEQQiMCCkHjAc MRowGAYDVQQDExFQcml2YXRlTGFiZWwyLTEzODANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQUFAAOBgQBIjNFQg+oL LswNo2asZw9/r6y+whehQ5aUnX9MIbj4Nh+qLZ82L8D0HFAgk3A8/a3hYWLD2ToZfoSxmRsA xRoLgnSeJVCUYsfbJ3FXJY3dqZw5jowgT2Vfldr394fWxghOrvbqNOUQGls1TXfjViF4gtwh GTXeJLHTHUb/XV9lTzGCAkQwggJAAgEBMGkwYjELMAkGA1UEBhMCWkExJTAjBgNVBAoTHFRo YXd0ZSBDb25zdWx0aW5nIChQdHkpIEx0ZC4xLDAqBgNVBAMTI1RoYXd0ZSBQZXJzb25hbCBG cmVlbWFpbCBJc3N1aW5nIENBAgMK3KkwCQYFKw4DAhoFAKCBsTAYBgkqhkiG9w0BCQMxCwYJ KoZIhvcNAQcBMBwGCSqGSIb3DQEJBTEPFw0wMzExMjYwNzQ3NTJaMCMGCSqGSIb3DQEJBDEW BBSH9dGjZWcxtzyI1gMv3KjcZJLk2zBSBgkqhkiG9w0BCQ8xRTBDMAoGCCqGSIb3DQMHMA4G CCqGSIb3DQMCAgIAgDANBggqhkiG9w0DAgIBQDAHBgUrDgMCBzANBggqhkiG9w0DAgIBKDAN BgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAASCAQBd1GRymdiQyTDKEUst34TEFv18xyaInVvyBM7xwqgk+wSgNT1i BHdsVQs/WoUgVPF1yXHrVdQrld7kHgkHh8Kba98ZDSaEMAJ9IV1e13J5R3Nk49BLnr+fG1VU OJU1DyJ4BCMb1zHJNFQnF9Pt2WlUAWqR83maSiaQcOQejjgxe1R+y+B8FoG1E4OowYrWICyM KtxXMp/2eGoqy3/vZqeclvx38S29V7WjkVkDOSsbO4KedyqpjVxC2tFpB9/5O+YuhhJON07s wLWpOQyfNm/uoLdgPbuKCp0GDIIUri+YTzEJKLJkz9BXeWh/B/F+a/hYi9d8uGhLKKJEYgZU QrYP --u3/rZRmxL6MmkK24--
