For my part, as an average user, it's "yes". I'm used to cd ${PORTSDIR}/foo/bar grep WITH Makefile more Makefile /DEPEND and I have absolutly no problem with this. I'm also used to work with dumb terminal (9term) and I don't like ports that stop because it cannot display its blue OPTIONS panel (eg: ghostscript). -- GAGNON serge PGP KEY-ID: 0xBBC1478F PGP Fingerprint: B48B 4633 28F5 28F6 7A62 5650 69C8 E293 BBC1 478F PPG Key: http://quenix2.dyndns.org:7777 | telnet quenix2.dyndns.org 7777 Cvsdadm: Tool for CVSd pserver user administration http://quenix2.dyndns.org:8080/Unix-soft/cvsdadm.html
