This port has moved to github, and I don't have a clue how to download it in the Makefile. There's no mention of github in /usr/ports/Mk, so I assume the method hasn't even been written yet. The source is here: <https://github.com/firnsy/barnyard2/>, but I don't see a tarball, and I don't know enough about ports to know if it's even possible to fetch it from github. -- Paul Schmehl, Senior Infosec Analyst As if it wasn't already obvious, my opinions are my own and not those of my employer. ******************************************* "It is as useless to argue with those who have renounced the use of reason as to administer medication to the dead."
