From 90e8e254b4b5bf6f33976625cbbaa2ccc12b9ddf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mark Linimon Date: Fri, 7 Jul 2006 23:43:55 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Add note that the build cluster is no longer building BROKEN ports by default (it can be accomplished with the -trybroken flag). This was found to simply slow down package builds in the general case.
