Using svn for source update

Re: CFT: New mplayer version
Thomas: On the plus side, the new vp8 codec support seems to be working: I've been able to view format 43 and 45 webm videos from youtube without problems. However, seeking in at least mp4 and flv videos, and possibly others, is less robust than in the earlier snapshot: I've experienced problems similar to those described by other users on the MPlayer-users mailing list in the past couple of months. My vote would be to go ahead with the update, but to continue to monitor the mplayer repository and mailing lists for solutions to these regressions, which could be incorporated in a subsequent update to the port -- at this point, I think that the improvements outweigh the regressions.

No. From the very beginning portmaster has had the fundamental design principle that whatever the "parent" port is (in this case, the port that you're running -r for) will ALWAYS be built. Therefore none of the "special case" tests (like -x or -i) are even applied to the parent port. The good news is that I'm almost done testing a new version that allows 'portmaster -R -r foo-1.23' to skip rebuilding foo if it, all of its dependencies, and all of the dependencies of the ports that depend on foo (the upward search for -r) are all up to date. If anything in those categories is out of date, then the parent port will get rebuilt just in case. ... and yes, if anyone cares, adding this option was just as much "fun" as I thought it would be. :) Part of the simplicity of portmaster (what's left of it anyway) has always been this fundamental assumption about the parent port. Providing for a case where the parent port might not get rebuilt, testing for the reasons that might be true, and then flagging the condition everywhere that needed to know about it, was "interesting" in the bad sense of the word, but anyway it's almost done. I'm testing it now. > I'm totally confused about how -x should be used, I don't think I > managed to make it do what I thought it would do more that once or > twice. :) Well not only does the ESP module for portmaster still need a lot of work, I have unfortunately not yet developed the ability to respond to questions you haven't sent yet. :) hth, Doug -- Improve the effectiveness of your Internet presence with a domain name makeover!http://SupersetSolutions.com/ Computers are useless.

Whither Thunderbird 3.1(.1)?
Just curious about the status of native Thunderbird 3.1.x. IMO the linux version is a significant improvement over 3.0.x, so I'd like to run the native version and get out of "clunky font land" sometime soon. :) Do y'all have a roadmap?
