It's for FreeBSD's packaging of third party software. * By convention, it should be possible to build a package as root. * If upstream provides regression tests and those run cleanly, they should be hooked up and run by default in a standard build. Combine both, and you end up with running "make check" as root. -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber na...@mips.inka.de _______________________________________________ flac-dev mailing list flac-dev@xiph.org http://lists.xiph.org/mailman/listinfo/flac-dev
