They are both fairly new constructs. I don't recall exact dates but they are new enough that the documentation for them has not caught up yet that I'm aware of. I'd wait until the Porter's Handbook is updated for further clarification on what to do. I'd also say that if you have a regular update planned for a port that you submit the license information with that. -- WXS _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
