I've bounced or changed the last few ports that I've committed updates to or imported, because of this very reason. In my make.conf, my CFLAGS is actually defined to "-O -pipe -DI_LIKE_BREAKING_PORTS", no joke. By all means, send-pr(1) when you find a port being bad in regards to this (I just fixed postgresql, recently, for this reason). - 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
