A port might be marked as broken for certain platforms or because a port does not compile without a certain kernel option (I'm going from memory). The box on which FreshPorts runs, the number of broken ports is 131. That makes the figure just over 98%.[1] [1] - FreshPorts determines that a port is broken if "make -V BROKEN" returns a non-empty string. -- Dan Langille The FreeBSD Diary - http://freebsddiary.org/ - practical examples To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
