It's absolutely a shame that couldn't be done, but he demanded that the port be fixed prior to release. Without a fix to hand, the only way to guarantee that FreeBSD wouldn't be in violation of the license agreement was to pull the port. Generate a patch and submit it. I'm sure the port will be reinstated as soon as somebody does so. -- Bill Moran http://www.potentialtech.com _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
