Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-announce@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Well, I've finally had some time to sit down and figure out the mechanics of making ports/packages, and so have decided to contribute something useful to the FreeBSD community using my new-found knowledge. :) To that end, a port of the WorkMan audio CD player, version 1.3, is now available at: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/incoming/workman.tar.gz This is a tarred copy of the ports directory for WorkMan. ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/incoming/WorkMan-1.3.tgz This is an installable (binary) package of WorkMan. I must thank Todd Pfaff for doing the initial porting to FreeBSD 1.0. There were some changes and general beating-up of the source code needed to get it to work properly using 2.x (at least, on my setup (SCSI CD-ROM on Adaptec 1542CF controller) some changes were needed). And besides, it was never formalized as a 'port' or 'package'. So here it is. :) For those of you wondering "what the @#%@#$%# is he talking about?", perhaps this excerpt from the WorkMan README will help describe what this is: -----CUT HERE WorkMan is a graphical tool for playing audio compact discs on a CD-ROM drive. It has most of the features available on standalone CD players, such as a shuffle mode, programmable playlists, and elapsed/remaining timers. But it also has extra features, foremost of which is the ability to store information about CDs in a database, then automatically extract that information when the CD is inserted later. WorkMan stores the artist's name, the disc title, the names of individual tracks, and even remembers which tracks you don't want to hear! All in an easy-to-use, attractive OPEN LOOK graphical interface. -----CUT HERE Finally, since this is an OPEN LOOK program, the XView development environment must be installed (consisting of the xview-{clients,config,lib} packages, and possibly one of olwm/olvwm (window managers). Please report any problems with this port/package to me at the email below. Since this is my first try at this, there will undoubtedly be errors in it. :) Cheers, Donald Burr [d_burr@ix.netcom.com], PO Box 91212, Santa Barbara CA 93190-1212 TEL (805)564-1871 / FAX 564-2315 / WWW http://www.geopages.com/WallStreet/2072 PGP Public Key available by request (send e-mail) or on Public Key Servers. ** Uphold your right to privacy - Use PGP. **
