Thus spake Mark Newton (newton@internode.com.au): > I think most novices probably don't even know the DESCR file > exists anyway. Exactly, when I was new I used lynx and the included .html-files for each package to find out what it is. Ok. if you can remove the buildenv-stuff when the package is not that what you want, this might be ok. But you should then have a build-env-distfile dir, because I often reinstall a port after a while i've not used it, and so the distfiles often are still there. If you have no buildenv-distfile-directory, you need a connection to the internet to build it :( Alex -- ************** I doubt, therefore I might be. ************** *** Send email to <pgp-keys@cichlids.com> to get PGP-Key *** To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
