In additional to my previous example with sawfish themes, for example xmms - it's in GNOME case only installs small applet, and IMHO it's not necessary to move the whole share/xmms into share/gnome. It's definitely not worth in this case to pollute pkg-plist with %%DATADIR%%, which creates additional headache in the case when you have to upgrade the port. Please make GNOME's CONFIGURE_ARGS optional! -Maxim To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
