portmaster --packages* and recording dependencies
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA256 Howdy, If you are a portmaster user and you use one of the --packages* options I would like to encourage you to upgrade to portmaster version 3.9. It fixes a (rather embarrassing) omission in the dependency-updating code, updating the +REQUIRED_BY files for the packages that a newly-installed package depends on. Usually pkg_add does this automatically, however in the course of developing the --packages* options for portmaster I found that it was necessary to add the --no-deps option to pkg_add. Unfortunately I did not re-test the +REQUIRED_BY updating after that, and I discovered this week that the --no-deps option suppresses this feature. The good news is that it's quite easy to fix. Update to portmaster 3.9 (which in addition to this bug fix has some nice new features), and then run 'portmaster --check-depends'. Actually it never hurts to run that occasionally anyway, especially if you sometimes use pkg_delete directly. I hope that this issue has not caused anyone inconvenience, and as always if you have any questions or comments feel free to send them along, in reply here or privately. Best regards, Doug - -- Nothin' ever doesn't change, but nothin' changes much. -- OK Go Breadth of IT experience, and depth of knowledge in the DNS.

graphics/opengl-man usefulness
Hi Martin, Whilst looking for OpenGL stuff in ports, I found graphics/opengl-man. On first glance, it seems quite useful but when I looked closer, I saw that it hasn't been updated for nearly 7 years and refers to a long obsolete version of OpenGL. Is it still worth having this port? -- Peter Jeremy pgpzfvEBgQpSV.pgp Description: PGP signature

You do realize that many here would consider that blasphemy. While it might be advantageous, like so many other capitalistic concepts, it is not likely to get a foothold in this galère. I think there was a greater underlying point. FreeBSD is a volunteer project.

(In my experience that is normal human nature.) So I took Chris' response to mean, step up and take responsibility if you don't want it to go away. I became a port maintainer because there were things I needed that weren't available. Rather than asking someone else to do it, I took on the responsibility myself.
