Maybe I should explain myself. What do you need a statically linked bash for? Seriously? For single user mode, init(8) explicitly asks you what shell to run. So even if you have /usr/local/bin/bash as root's shell and /usr is unavailable, you can extract yourself from that. If you want to copy a static bash to, say, /bin/bash, that's outside the scope of the ports system. We don't need to support this. As people have pointed out in the past, the dependencies for bash-static were dubious. Instead of the LIB_DEPENDS on gettext that MODULES will produce on dynamic archs, it should have BUILD/RUN_DEPENDS. Oh, and properly the static FLAVOR shouldn't even exist on static archs. Sure, I could add .if's for all that, but why bother? Look at FreeBSD's ports/shells/bash/Makefile for an example how to make a straightforward port disproportionally complicated by introducing all sorts of marginal knobs. -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber [EMAIL PROTECTED]
