Like Lauri said, we'll probably continue singling out applications on a case by case basis. An application is a hot candidate for being split out into a single port if it is both - completely or almost completely independent of other applications or libraries in the module it ships in - so dependency heavy that a significant share of all the external dependencies of a module are in fact dependencies of that one application. I personally would love to split up Koffice, unfortunately there are quite some buildtime in-module dependencies between the different Koffice applications (especially the shared import/export filter system is troublesome there). -- ,_, | Michael Nottebrock | [EMAIL PROTECTED] (/^ ^\) | FreeBSD - The Power to Serve | http://www.freebsd.org \u/ | K Desktop Environment on FreeBSD | http://freebsd.kde.org
