That's true. I guess some people simply forget it (or don't know about it) when adding a knob for src.conf. There's another pitfall: When you install, say, BIND from the ports collection with the option WITH_REPLACE_BASE=true and add WITHOUT_BIND=yes to src.conf. When you update your world it will wipe out your BIND files that were installed from ports, so you have to re-install the port. I haven't tried this myself, though ... Maybe there's a safety-belt somewhere. Anyway -- Only very few ports have a good reason to have an option to install them in base. The ntp port isn't one of them, so clearly there's no harm to add its files to the OptionalObsoleteFiles.inc file. Best regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH & Co.
