The update of lang/opa requires ocaml 4. I don't know if the current version of lang/opa will working with ocaml 4. If it doesn't build then don't worry about it. You guys can go ahead mark it as BROKEN if you don't know the fix. I will update it and remove BROKEN when I can. > b. -- [email protected] - [email protected] FreeBSD GNOME Team http://www.FreeBSD.org/gnome/ - [email protected] _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
