I'll suggest that : We shouldn't maintain two different ports tree(ports/chinese && outta-port in sinica) at the same time. Especially when someone wanna commit something, but he doesn't use the source file from the PR's originator. Actually I don't do "blink" commit at the normal time, but for some reason I don't wanna test these ports(cle_base & netscape-*) in my -current box. So I ask keichii to help me few hourse ago, to make sure these ports are fine in installation procedure. And no, I didn't "ignore" these PRs keith sent, it is unfair when you said it. > 3.

That's why I called it "cle_base" rather then "linux_base", for the later case : You should make a slave port or ask repo-copy first, and send out your patch focus on Chinese. NOT make a new port everytime. I mark the name different to do so, now, can you understand what I want to do? :) > -- > Keep it simple and stupid. > Cheers, -Foxfair.
