'getopt' is not included in the base tree (it's a GNU thing) and many ports depend on it. There have been proposed solutions to fix this (ports/8838), but none of them feel right to me. Would the best solution be rolling a getopt library and then making it a port? Should I proceed with this? NOTE: I am not talking about /usr/src/usr.bin/getopt, I am talking about: bash-2.01$ pwd ; ls getopt* /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/diff getopt.c getopt.h getopt1.c Comments? I'd hate to do this the wrong way. - bill fumerola - billf@chc-chimes.com - BF1560 - computer horizons corp - - ph:(800) 252-2421 - bfumerol@computerhorizons.com - billf@FreeBSD.org - To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
