* From: Brian Fundakowski Feldman <green@FreeBSD.org> * No. First of all, it should just be a satellite port. Then forget * about the history. * * If it's a satellite port the repository history should NOT be copied. * It is NOT the same thing, nor is it logically or semantically a * descendent of the given port; it is a new port which adds on to an * existing port, does not contain the functionality of the inherited * port proper, and should not be regarded as such. * * The only "history" a satellite port should contain as its own, which * includes an implicit or explit reference in revision 1.1 of the port * which it inherits. A given port needs its own history, not that of * its dependencies. This is correct. Also, note that there is generally no repository copy necessary for language-specific ports even if it is not a satellite port. A repo copy is necessary to prevent history loss when an obsolete port is removed. Since there is no chance that zh-xmms will replace xmms (unless xmms was Chinese specific in the first place and put in the wrong category or something), this will not happen. -PW To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
