Yes, that is a good reason, I should have thought that through a bit. I still think that it's more aggressive than it needs be. I think it could probably just delete Makefile (in case the port is moved) plus any files in files/ that don't end in .local. That way you could still have local patchfiles, and anything else would be untouched including README.html and makefile.local _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
