I was only refering to diff itself, I know all about cvs, and use it a
lot myself for personal projects. I just didn't know of a way that
diff would remove a file, since that patch doesn't apply cleanly,
anyone that wanted to test my diff would get an error about that patch
and snort wouldn't build.

I was just going by the advice of Alexandre Anriot about the HOME part
in CONFIGURE_ARGS, originally I had not set it. I have never tried to
develop anything for ports before, so wasn't sure if this was required
or not, although I remember seeing the "HOME not set" error on other
ports in the past.

Thanks a lot, I know this'll help me on the job, as I do a lot of work
with NIDS. I just hope that the maintainer will keep up-to-date with
current versions of snort in the future.
