[Has anyone figured-out what makes the number 393 so interesting to PW, now?]
I wonder what was going through Jordan's head during his infamous
$Id$-smashing commit.
Before I forget....
Thanks to naddy@mips.rhein-neckar.de (Christian Weisgerber) for prompting
this commit. See msg-id: 7geokh$tje$1@mips.rhein-neckar.de
share most files. Repository copy the default to explicitly named
directories to avoid any confusion. Greatly simplify the shared
Makefiles, since we are now in different subdirectories, we don't need
"a4-install" stuff.
While I'm here, consistently name the variables. Here are the
guidelines (master port is in brackets)
DOCFORMAT: [html] pdf ps
KONFONT: 14dot [16dot]
PAPERSIZE: a4 [letter] letterdj
RESOLUTION: 118 240 [300] 360 400 600
"math/r" has been copied to "R-a4" and "R-letter", to follow the
spirit of the original port. "japanese/kon" is renamed to "kon2-*",
since that seems to be the basename.
bsd.port.mk that will be committed soon, this will disable automatic
package building when PACKAGE_BUILDING is defined (so they can be
built from separate scripts).
These are no-ops for ordinary users (i.e., when PACKAGE_BUILDING is
not defined).
PostScript interpreter itself. The problem is that some (most?) PostScript
level 1 interpreters (such as the Apple Laserwriter Plus!) don't define
the ISOLatin1 encoding vector AND don't define a character called `minus'.
Therefore, substituting `hyphen' (which is always defined) for `minus',
isn't really `wrong' aesthetics not withstanding! :-) A conditional patch
would (IMHO, say Jeremy) be overkill: the only people that would be
interested in it are typographers, and they probably don't use mp to
format their mail anyway.
