Julian, thanks for the port, I took a look, although I haven't
compiled it yet.
* Err. freebsd.com? Aren't we getting ahead of ourselves here? I didn't
* know we had a ftp.FreeBSD.COM address :-)
Hehe....I guess he meant freefall's LOCAL_PORTS.
By the way, I haven't received an answer to my question, did you
really really really reeeeeeeeeeally have to make a new tarball?
There was no way to transform the original tarball into a
FreeBSD-compilable version using civilized methods?
If the answer to the above questions are "yes", "no", then that's ok
to put it in LOCAL_PORTS, of course.
* Functionally, it'll work, but I'd prefer things done slightly
* differently (like a patch to the main makefile to give it an install
* rule rather than an install rule at the top level, but that's just a
* personal preference)
I don't really care, if it's a total new target, I prefer it done in
the toplevel Makefile though. It's easier to see what it's doing.
* No doubt Satoshi has a word or two on the layout of the makefile :-)
Yeah...well, it's mostly ok. The excessive comments after MAINTAINER
should go though, that's not what we want our users to read. Also,
what is ${LOCAL_}? Can't we just use ${PREFIX}?
Satoshi
