FreeBSD is really pissing me off. Check out this portupgrade output:

** Listing the failed packages (*:skipped / !:failed)
! www/mnogosearch (mnogosearch-3.1.21_1) (unknown build error)
! multimedia/libxine (libxine-1.0.1) (bad C++ code)
* multimedia/xine_artsplugin (kdemultimedia-xine_artsplugin-3.4.2)
* multimedia/kdemultimedia3 (kdemultimedia-3.4.2)
---> Packages processed: 32 done, 294 ignored, 2 skipped and 2 failed

Could it be that the libxine contributers/developers wrote bad code and slipped it past the FreeBSD maintainers? That proposition sounds rediculously embarassing to me, even though it is all free. I could be to blame; I am still running FreeBSD 4.10-RELEASE, but it's not that old, and I have done my "portupgrade -a". I am going to put the latest production release of FreeBSD 5 into Spiral...
