It's useful for me too sometimes, but it's already not 100% reliable, as some ports still generate it dynamically, some use PLIST_FILES, some use PLIST_SUB so it's not apparent under which path and/or name the file mentioned in plist is actually installed. -- Dmitry Marakasov . 55B5 0596 FF1E 8D84 5F56 9510 D35A 80DD F9D2 F77D amd...@amdmi3.ru ..: jabber: amd...@jabber.ru http://www.amdmi3.ru _______________________________________________ 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"
