The "maintainer" has not bothered even replying to a similar message I sent him earlier. (Well, if there's something good to be said, at least there was a clear contact address in the package this time. Something that distros tend to hide.) And if he really "maintains" the package, he should have marked is deprecated before the freeze. But distros don't maintain marginal packages, they just throw them in and expect the author to deal with the distro's users with the random snapshot that happened to be there at the megafreeze time. -- Tuomo _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
