The following reply was made to PR ports/35659; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Konstantinos Konstantinidis <kkonstan@duth.gr> To: freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org, parv_@yahoo.com?s Cc: Subject: Re: ports/35659: x11-fonts/webfonts extract fails Date: Sun, 17 Mar 2002 11:18:47 +0200 Hello, The updated version of cabextract is a 76KB download and it builds in a few seconds even on older hardware. I fail to see why anyone would consider it a "bug" that webfonts uses the new features of cabextract. As you noticed, the original port used sed/tr/mv to do the renaming before cabextract was updated. Since this required functionality is now available from cabextract, it made sense to remove those hacks from the ports Makefile, and expect people to use a recent cabextract package. So, unless anyone has any good reasons why we should add more cruft the the webfonts Makefile, can someone close this PR?
