[GRASSLIST:2040] RE: GRASS on FreeBSD

[Andrew MacIntyre]

Well, I just checked the Ports Collection, which lists "grass-5.0b8".
(see http://www.freebsd.org/ports/databases.html)

It appears that binary package building is not enabled for the port.

NOTE: FreeBSD builds many of the ported packages on a build cluster, 
with the aim of distributing them on their release CDs, but not all 
ports are built into packages, for a variety of reasons.
