hi ports,

When a port installs redundant symlinks (${LOCALBASE}/lib/libfoo.so ->
${LOCALBASE}/lib/libfoo.so.X.Y) what is the best way to clear out this
?

- patching Makefiles so that said symlinks aren't created during make fake ?
- adding a post-install target that removes symlinks from ${FAKEROOT} ?
- commenting out symlinks in pkg/PLIST ?

Personnally I'd go with commenting, given it's the less intrusive solution.

I heard from landry@ that setting SEPARATE_BUILD was not desirable
(correct me if I misunderstood this, landry), but the official porting
docs seems to say it's a good thing. So, SEPARATE_BUILD or not ?

Cheers,
