And the packages "described" in that section are not really described! Their existance is _mentioned_, but no where is said in what path they can be found or their name! Now, Internat is a big place, y'know... :-) I tried to install openssl from ports, but it was not allowed by that rule I complained about. I commented it out, installed it, but lynx-ssl won't compile because it is expecting the base-system OpenSSL. When you say "package", above, are your refering to something to something that will be installed in the base system, or something that will still be ignored by the lynx-ssl port (and any other port requiring SSL, since that rule is in Mk/)? -- Daniel C.
