If i look at the history of bsd.octave.mk then I see only small changes over a long timeframe, so I think Mk is a good central place. But I can also think of a location in math/octave-forge and doing all other ports via a MASTER/SLAVE part since bsd.octave.mk contains only a view dependencies and other instructions. In Master/Slave you could simply maybe most of the other ports. And yes, a move should be done via repocopy -- olli _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
