No, it's not. Lots of ports change dependancies based on what's installed, so if you install one thing you have to assume that any other thing you intend to build in the future may change its list because of that. For a trivial demonstration, look at how many use the ".if ${HAVE_GNOME:Msomething}" pattern. -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Systems/Network Administrator | http://www.over-yonder.net/~fullermd/ On the Internet, nobody can hear you scream. _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
