Aieee, no. Please, let me be the first of probably many to say: please don't use slashpackage. It's a constricting (and annoying) solution to a problem that no one has. And as an amusing side-note, while djb adores slashpackage so much that he was willing to see daemontools dropped from the openbsd ports system rather than de-link it from slashpackage, he apparently doesn't like it enough to actually issue versions of any of his other software (qmail, djbdns, ucspi-tcp, etc) that use it, and if you try to distribute pre-built versions of them converted into slashpackage format, he'll sue you. But I guess consistancy is a hobgoblin of small minds such as my own. (And no, I'm not trying to start another djb flameware: I use lots of his software quite happily. I just think slashpackage is daft.) -n -------------------------------------------------------------<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "There are fiscal conservatives and social conservatives, and most of the 200-or-so people who can manage to reconcile those massively opposing beliefs have already been elected to office."
