Sounds promising.
yeah its impressed me too i _usually_ install stuff in my FreeBSD box with a port
but i had been using the cvs version from when i was using linux
so i just kept doing it that way
and i havent had any problems with the cvs version at all
so i think using the base source is a good idea
keeps it the same as the std version then

Peter> so im going to suggest that they get submitted
That's the right thing to do, I think.
yeah i think so too
if only the other people who write ports for FreeBSD would do the same :(
Peter> i can send you the current patches if you like
How big are they?
not very big at all
they are based on 21.1.14
and they seem to be mostly changes to the configuring process
I think it would be good if they were available on xemacs-patches.
want me to send them to the list or to you ??
