In short, platform provides machinery for a single port of FreeBSD which represents exactly one MACHINE_ARCH to support a numbe of different hardware platforms - MACHINE - under a unified system, without interfering with how anything works, and without doing it in a convoluted/imho-backwards way. There is not a way to mix MACHINE and MACHINE_ARCH within a single port, as it is now. You have to duplicate things like pc98 does. -- Juli Mallett <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> AIM: BSDFlata -- IRC: juli on EFnet OpenDarwin, Mono, FreeBSD Developer ircd-hybrid Developer, EFnet addict FreeBSD on MIPS-Anything on FreeBSD To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
