You rule out some 13-year-olds in coffee shops as attackers. I |

overstated -- since the user isn't replying with any data, it's not a |
| 10 |
big improvement, but it's still a little better. |

Ok it looks stupid, but I was serious. I source my make.conf in |
| 20 |
~/.bashrc, so I have PORTDIR and friends set in my shell. I have PORTDIR |
| 21 |
set, and the thing is telling me to set PORTDIR? It took me a moment to |
| 22 |
realize what was wrong. It will certainly stump others. |

If what you really want them to do is prepend PORTDIR="..." before the |
| 25 |
wget command, then why give them the wget command without it? Or if the |
| 26 |
environment variable needs to be set and then exported, why not just say |
| 27 |
that? The news items go out to tens of thousands of people so the more |
| 28 |
explicit the instructions are, the better. Because then people won't bug |
| 29 |
you about all the ways in which they misinterpreted the instructions. |
