Not to mention that much of its functionality relies on _other_ ports as well, so to get the whole bang shoot folks would have to install from ports anyway. I'm pretty sure that there's very little to be gained by importing LPRng into the base system, since: 1) We seem to have an active lpr maintainer again. 2) Many folks don't need the additional functionality of LPRng. 3) Many folks who need LPRng will have to install it from the ports to get all of its functionality. But I repeat myself. Forgive me my exasperation, but this whole discussion has put the cart before the horse at every step of the way, so that the cart is now so far down the horse's throat that it may as well have been shoved up its arse at the beginning. :-) Ciao, Sheldon.
