So an ebuild is "similiar" to an macports portfile. pkgsrc uses make directly as a "platform independent" tool with own Makefiles while Gentoo portage uses python as this is "platform independent" as much as required for Gentoo... Both concepts are nice but has pitfalls too... -- --- Niels Dettenbach Syndicat IT & Internet http://www.syndicat.com PGP: https://syndicat.com/pub_key.asc ---
