Hi,

Today, 18 years ago the first version of Mk/bsd.port.mk was committed
to CVS. From the CVS log:

# cvs log -r1.1 Mk/bsd.port.mk
Working file: Mk/bsd.port.mk
head: 1.738

revision 1.1
date: 1994/08/21 13:12:57;  author: jkh;  state: Exp;
Commit my new ports make macros.  Still not 100% complete yet by any means
but fairly usable at this stage.

A couple of minutes later the first ports were committed:
editors/emacs
editors/jove
shells/bash

>From the CVS log:

# cvs log -r1.1.1.1 editors/jove/Makefile

head: 1.23

revision 1.1.1.1
date: 1994/08/21 13:19:28;  author: jkh;  state: Exp;  lines: +0 -0
The start of the 2.0 ports collection.  No sup repository yet, but I'll
make one when I wake up again.. :)

This means that (at least in some countries) the ports tree is grown-up
now.

Happy Birthday!
