Preference between the two locations only matters if a particular library exists in different versions in both places. Once the two places have been consolidated, this is impossible. Otherwise, it's still not something you want to do without a really good reason. So I don't see any issue to solve here. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
