Uh Will just what does requesting that something be DOCUMENTED in the OFFICAL way mean whining about time??? Just today someone was asking about the new rules. Since it was not in the Porter's Handbook they could not just look there. Remember that Handbook is our guidlines and I might even aruge if it isn't in there is isn't policy. Unwritten policy isn't very useful. > Just because it's not written down doesn't mean it isn't a rule. If > Satoshi puts it in bsd.port.mk, it is a rule. WRONG. How can bsd.port.mk state policy? It *supports* the policy. -- -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
