Yes, I understand all of the above issues. However, what I dislike is the fact that USES=libedit implies USES=localbase. Therefore, it unconditionally spams CFLAGS, CPPFLAGS, CXXFLAGS, and LDFLAGS. Unfortunately, it makes it very hard to deal with complex compiler flags. For example, USES=libedit should not be used with OpenSSL if you have multiple libcrypto unless the port requires one from ${LOCALBASE}. :-( Jung-uk Kim -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQEcBAEBCAAGBQJWQ8JuAAoJEHyflib82/FG0mIH/1FzpsQi7eUBxQFvWOVJaE3Z yq/aVZpE5DoRVv6GIcIcfwNG/Vio+0uYMI0/fY22gYzV5ukTzP0yW8xHaGYQll3F X7Gtb8WjbdWRtfX+XYPfSdGWCWLbSmlFb5zUfICURP0FkhA0m7oMA8g7kYSvu2rS EeLscmIZMB0VZG2AUcgiUVCRz5yebtxLj+eiOvTShwBhPGNHKAh/JfK7nH1LWMBK yfKszO0frAJx4Vp9tVWevoYqx3jXTCd4bafWcTHSeRtNzIh43uXQYvwq1qitSGkf Xz84FlTsflmsGMEg+kXgo+JhOe1pTWwal358Oaoo6FhlsJz9DkqJX7b6FFm/Mcs= =yGSq -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
