--- Comment #8 from fk@fabiankeil.de ---
Thanks for committing the ports and making the required fixes for 10amd64,
Adam.

I previously wasn't aware of USES= pathfix and GNU_CONFIGURE= yes, but agree
that using them is superior to clowning around with CONFIGURE_ARGS and will use
them in the future.

I intentionally didn't install the license file as "documentation" because I
suspect that some people build all packages without documentation to decrease
the package size and assume that this does not affect whether or not the
packages can be legally distributed to third parties on their own.

There are indeed already lots of ports that have this issue and as far as I
know there is no (documented) project policy that prohibits this, but my
personal preference is to always include the license in the package (for my
ports).

I did not actually invent the "central license path" but used the one that is
used by the undocumented LICENSE "framework", which is already used by quite a
few ports.

Anyway, as long as everyone involved is aware of the legal implications of
treating the license file as documentation, I can live with it.
