I donno if it counts, though. Ok, thank you. The official policy/strategy is what I was trying to dig up... That's one more inconsistency we have in the ports tree right now. My personal feeling would be quite the opposite -- I think it is cool to support this, especially since the framework is already in place and is really cheap. If some developer happens to put the wrong minor number (because he/she only works with elf) -- it is an easily fixed PR... I wish there was some way to count the actual number of users who use one way or another... -mi To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
