Well, I'm not sure why people would want to deal with hand-made patches to the ports Makefiles,
I have some patches I apply locally that I've not got round to suggesting to
ports@ yet, for instance:
-----{
] Establish a compilation order for majority interests
] I suspect most people need things like mailers, postscript tools, fax etc
] a lot more than they need games, japanese, or russian
] (not that those things aren't nice to have too, just that when
] compiling a system, where the make may break, or disc may run out,
] or you've got a screwed system you need to restore with a new make,
] the system components esssential to most of us are not in games japanese
russian
] So it's worth compiling the things most people need first, rather than
] just going the alphabetic route.
]
] Move games to last, (dedicated players can move it first if they want)
] Move japanese russian to last (as most people are not either)
]

In fact, the entire ports tree in less than 10MB (without distfiles), so why don't you all go and grab the whole hting today! (And start testing! :)
I have & do regularly, but when the same things keep breaking regularly, apart from reporting it, I pefer to have my local patch script just patch them out (lots of ports I don't even know what they are, so have zero inclination to fix 'em, plus any inclination is tempered by a 40 second delay per key stroke, going to freefall from Munich thru' about 15 hosts.
Also, it will make it easier when we formally support the RESTRICTED and BROKEN keywords, as we can do something like
BROKEN Sounds attractive :-) I'll wait to read /usr/share/mk/*po*.mk to discover RESTRICTED functionality.
Keep up the good work :-) Thanks,
