Looks like I wasn't clear enough, by "both are distributed in a single source distribution" I meant there is only one source archive for both :) Best regards, Adam -- Adam Byrtek _______________________________________________ macports-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-dev
