Hi,

Thanks for all the hard work.  I've updated the ports and everything went 
well.  No obvious regressions with compiling or during runtime (even with 
running nvidia :-)

I did encounter two problems (both, I think, are related to using tmpfs):
- gpgme: failed to build
- ocaml: failed to install (properly?)

Anyway I think these problems are specific to my system (with tmpfs...).  

As a note about these 'FAQ'.  I find that running the following script solves 
the problem with patches 'showing' through the unionfs:

cd $AREA51
for i in `find . -type d -depth 2`
do
  rm -rf /usr/ports/$i
done
mount -t unionfs $AREA51 /usr/ports

Of course this mitigates the reason for using unionfs...

An alternative would be to delete all files that 'show' through unionfs once 
it has been mounted (whiteout I believe it is called).  The following script 
might work but I have never tried it:

cd $AREA51
area51_ports=`find . -type d -depth 2`
mount -t unionfs $AREA51 /usr/ports
cd /usr/ports
for i in $area51_ports
do
  for j in `find -d $i`
  do
    if [ ! -e $AREA51/$j ]
    then
      rm -rf $AREA51/$j
    fi
  done
done

But then I have no idea on how to undelete the files (if, for example, another 
file is created post- with the same name).  

Thanks again for the good work.

David

P.S. Anyone getting kde4 working with https and proxying (no auth)?  GMail is 
proving illusive for me :-<
