Hi, I did the change to ports/lang/f2c/pkg-descr I was removing trailing spaces in WWW tags. Unfortunaly, it seems that I overlooked that mistake with your port. I apologize for that. I was merely removing extraneous spaces on WWW tags. I did not mean to break your port. I did not request maintainer approval since this was a simple and cosmetic port change. Nevertheless, I should have been even more careful with the change. It seems that the 4 hours I spent checking and double checking my changes were not enough. For that, I apologize. However, I do think that you should calm down a bit. The port was NOT broken. That was of the reasons I did not request maintainer approval. WWW tags do not break ports. fenner distfile survey warned you that there might be a problem with WWW tag which means that the ports listing on the FreeBSD site could be pointing to a wrong place. Nothing more; though, I agree this could have been prevented. Nonetheless, this a volunteer project and I understand that people contribute their free time however little to help. My time is neither more nor less valuable than yours. So I would appreciate if you did value my contribution efforts as much as I value both your and other contributions to the project. You will notice that I have apologized for the brokeness. I would appreciate that you behaved yourself in a more civilized manner in the future. After all, we are adults and that is not the way we should interact with each other. I understand you might dislike what happened but etiquette and courtesy go a long way. I took 5 deep breaths before writing this email. This enabled me to stick to the point of the issue: I broke it, I apologize. I thank Maxim for the quick response with a fix. Any other side issues are meaningless. Furthermore, I will avoid EVER touching your programs again to avoid such interaction. In the future, please read the netiquette. We are humans and adults, etiquette is demanded from us. This alone would have prevented me from posting to an open list but since the first came, I did respond. Please stick to private email if you must. Regards, -- Mario S F Ferreira - DF - Brazil - "I guess this is a signature."
