What purpose is served by the twisty maze of ifdefs in telnetd?
Probably for portability.
I'd
like to unifdef many of them. I'm trying to track down a bug and the
twisty maze makes it very hard to follow. Comments?
There's nothing stopping you unifdefing

I'd support that. I believe the page needs to be tied to exec (ala

Programmers need documentation too.
And they are going to scream like mad if there isn't any. But in the end
they start reading the code anyway, even if there is docu, because they

It's all documented in C

How about storing each port as a single file in ar(5) format, which is

I do agree that the current approach is fairly wasteful. Currently,
an unpacked ports tree contains 61767 inodes and occupies 79967
1K-blocks (35184 inodes and 35215 blocks are CVS-related metadata).
This covers 2374 ports in 41 categories. An average user probably
builds 1-2% of these.
