Did you run a "make describe" sometime during the testing of the port? It will generate README.html and a couple of other files, none of which are supposed to be part of the actual port - all of them are autogenerated when the need arises (e.g. building INDEX). So compare all the files in your port's directory with the files from a previous, known-good version of the port, see which are the new ones and if you wrote them or some tool generated them :) If you didn't write them, chances are you can safely remove them and things will work just fine :) G'luck, Peter -- Peter Pentchev r...@space.bg r...@ringlet.net r...@freebsd.org PGP key: http://people.FreeBSD.org/~roam/roam.key.asc Key fingerprint FDBA FD79 C26F 3C51 C95E DF9E ED18 B68D 1619 4553 If this sentence didn't exist, somebody would have invented it.
