That would be horrible -- every time the package was updated, the real DCC would go away and all that would be left is the stub. Every system I've used has had a few ports I build from source because I need something other than the default config. I use pkg -l to keep the package system from changing them and look every once in a while to see if the port has changed. R's, John
