This is, of course, nothing like what was suggested. The problem with automatic checking of ports is that addport depends on the port infrastructure on the system it's being run on being up-to-date. Since this isn't the case on freefall, automatic port checking doesn't work. A better fix would either be to update the infrastructure on freefall (poor) or have addport keep a private, up-to-date copy of the infrastructure somewhere else (better). > will 2000/10/10 17:14:00 PDT > > Modified files: > Tools/scripts addport > Log: > Since people don't seem to appreciate the fact that addport can do > automatic checking on their ports to be added, I'm removing it and its > overriding -v option.

But not because people want to be opponents, rather because the tasks and relationships force people to take different points of view.
