I understand what you're saying. However, my change would actually change the package cluster. Because those packages were built with "--without-berkeley-db" rather than "--with-berkeley-db=no" the old packages were built with broken BDB support by accident. By fixing this, the default package is actually going to be different than the one built before this change. I would recommend bumping PORTREVISION because of this. _______________________________________________ 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"
