Just check > ftp://ftp.unicamp.br/pub/netscape/communicator/english/4.74/unix/ This morning, I sent in an update (http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=20109) for the bsdi-netscape47-communicator.us and bsdi-netscape47-navigator.us ports. I even put ftp.unicamp.br among the MASTER_SITES. :-) If you have time, please take a look and let me know about any problem with my approach (besides the botched synopsis line--duh!). > The new crypto law is not fine but it is doing > some good.

However, people in a few countries--Cuba, Libya, the Sudan, North Korea, Serbia, and probably some I forgot--are asked not to download it. If I were them, I doubt that I'd be keen on using anything from the USA, or that I'd care about consequences for Netscape/AOL. However, if someone gives me something with conditions attached, and I promise to abide by the conditions, I feel better when I don't break my word. I don't mind doing a little work to maintain the 40-bit Netscape ports, for honest users in those places. -- Trevor Johnson http://jpj.net/~trevor/gpgkey.txt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
