No, the release packages were already built. You see, part of the problem of software Quality Assurance is that it takes some period of time to get final packages made and tested -- a time that no one can guarantee will necessarily be less than 28 days. >From the discussion I followed on the pkgsrc mailing list, you obviously either don't understand, or don't care, about this asepct of trying to produce the best working packages for the users of a particular OS. But, I tell you what, as a special favor to you, I'll personally rip ion-3 out of the already-prepared package sets, check to make sure that the port is removed from the Ports Collection, and promulgate a new policy that NO software from you will in the future be accepted into the Ports Collection. Thus, your licenses will be honored, and as an inevitable result, your software will descend even further into complete irrelevance. Will that be acceptable, or is there something else that you would like from me this fine evening? mcl
