Hi all, I'm looking to make a port for libss, so that I can make another port (the zephyr IM library) that depends on it. FreeBSD used to have a libss, but kris removed it 7 years ago because it was not getting used. NetBSD still installs a libss, and they use the source from Heimdal (which is in lib/sl, interestingly enough). I asked around here at MIT, and people indicated that the most current version of a libss would be in the e2fsprogs package, and, in fact, that source package is used for the Debian libss package.
It seems kind of sad to pull in another tarball when there is probably somethin good enough in the base system source, but my understanding is that we want to keep the ports system useable even when there is no source present for the base system. Could someone with more experience than me please confirm (or contradict) my reasoning that the e2fsprogs tarball is the right thing to use as a source package, here? Thanks, Ben Kaduk _______________________________________________ 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"
