Sure ... there aren't any source changes in the ports tree version from 3.1 .tgz on SourceForge... So the results won't be different than you've already seen (you do know Albert's definition of insane, right? http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/a/alberteins133991.html)
In the ports, they: * Change the ./configure glib test from g_date_julian() to g_date_new_julian() (I'm not sure why, they're both gdome functions) * Patch util.c - which I believe we now already have in the baseline, and in such a way that it doesn't leak memory. * Added a init section to the script, good to have * Set --skip-version-check The last change is unfortunate - it means that we'll undercount FreeBSD users and thus may underallocate resources... -----Burton -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of shane mullins Sent: Tuesday, February 22, 2005 4:18 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Ntop] ntop unstable on FreeBSD 4.x Doh, Thanks for the heads up.
