Hi,

Thanks for the tip. I
have tried to install fvwm2 from the ports tree,
but I saw a lot of gcc
warnings during compilation, some of them
possibly serious.


This leads me to
a more general question about using third party
software. Is the source code
of the binary application packages in
the mirrors scrutinized, to fix the
source of such warnings?And I
suppose applications installed from the ports
system are "as is",
since the source is downloaded from upstream?

My thanks
in advance.
