What I was thinking was that maybe there was another port that had already filled the purpose of this one, and so it was considered unnecessary or redundant. Either that, or perhaps, given the occasionally flakey e-mail service on @Home, that someone had written me about it and I hadn't gotten their message, so it was assumed that I had lost interest or wouldn't be a reliable maintainer. I wasn't taking it personally. :-) > (this message written by a committer who created 50+ ports and to date > maintains some 74 ports, or at least tries to. ;-) Whoa! > Anyway, I had some interest in your port when you submitted it, but at > this time I have a 2.5hr physics senior final to take that starts in > about 30 minutes. Other people probably have similar excuses these days. Fair enough. I wouldn't have even asked about it this soon, but it looked like other port submissions were just zipping through, so I was wondering if there was a problem.
