The nethack-qt and nethack-gtk ports are both based on 3.2.3, however these interfaces are both part of the base nethack distribution now, so they can be updated to 3.3.1 with appropriate options set. The nethack3 port (named wrongly, since 3.2.3 also is technically version 3) should probably go away, and nethack3-tty should become nethack-tty. I will update the nethack-gtk (which will still be broken due to the GTK not allowing SUID problem), nethack-qt, and nethack-tty ports as necessary, and create a new nethack-x11 port. I will also update the ports to be prefix-clean, using the same method as the slashem-tty port (pr ports/26754) that I submitted. If you have any comments/suggestions please mail me, and though I am not subscribed to the list, I do read the archives regularly. thanks -Adam To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
