All that changed was the restoration of old behavior (and the addition of a knob for the ignorant users that don't know kdebase is a minimal KDE install). Who lost what today? The meta-port was never customizable to the extent that you want, nor is there a good reason to do that. Again, I ask, what is wrong with typing "portinstall kdebase " as opposed to your solution, to add this list to /etc/make.conf? Regards, -- wca
