I wasn't watching very well, it's more likely I did. If so, either way, it's a simple change. The only thing about the port was that there was care given to the possibility that a user might make one choice during the build phase, and another during the package phase, thus mislabeling the package. There's a cookie dropped in the work dir to prevent this, and that feature's worth keeping, I think, as long as you guys don't decide on a totally different method of tracking paper sizes. I don't much like the idea of making yet another new variable, tho, because folks kinda expect PAPERSIZE now. It doesn't have to be in bsd.port.mk either, a user's personal /etc/make.conf would be fine. If they didn't know how to control such things, they ought not to be doing monster automatic port builds anyhow. > > -- > -- David (obrien@NUXI.ucdavis.edu -or- obrien@FreeBSD.org) > > ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@glue.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 213 Lakeside Drive Apt T-1 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 and picnic, both FreeBSD (301) 220-2114 | version 3.0 current -- and great FUN! ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
