do you really think applying the patches to your local installation(s) takes more time than figuring out what in the whole ports tree needs to be patched, making the patches, testing them and publishing them? and you're also asking for some kind of script to automate the patching. that's why I'm saying you're whining. *you* could: a) apply all the patches. really, how long does this take? you only need 1 ports tree per release and then share it to all your machines via cvs or rsync or what-have-you. maybe instead of "encouraging" someone "in the know" to write some "glue" script, you should be looking at your administrative practices? or, if you want to help others too: b) host a cvs server and give these guys accounts. you're a sysadmin, this should be right up your alley. or simply c) publish a cvs tree with all the patches applied. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] SDF Public Access UNIX System - http://sdf.lonestar.org
