I think it's the ports system *itself* that now requires it, not particular ports. Again, see /usr/ports/UPDATING. (That said, I will not argue that ports has shortcomings; it feels rather primitive after years of using MacPorts. But these shortcomings mostly fall out of the ports system itself --- and it's entirely possible that addressing them requires things like the new pkg, given that ports are installed via pkg.) -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates allber...@gmail.com ballb...@sinenomine.net unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad http://sinenomine.net _______________________________________________ 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"
