brokenish /emulators/redhat/base
I was trying to build www/opera on my 3.8 (from CD) box emulators/redhat/base hung up with some error message like: xargs: unknown option -- r To fix it I installed and symlinked GNU xargs. I don't know if there is possibly a better fix that should be implemented into the port itself, just thought I'd post this in case someone else has a similar problem and needed a solution. By the way, although the install was from CD, the ports tree was downloaded from snapshots a couple of nights ago. -JR

DON'T DO THAT!
