I have now, and I found a minor problem with adding the <netinet/in.h> include to kerberos.c without a <sys/types.h> include beforehand. I've just sent a message to fetchmail-friends. BTW, why oh why wasn't there a fetchmail-announce mail for 5.6.6? Or was it just that I did not get it? > You know the author (who's called "Eric S.

Sorry about the name misspelling, blame it on lack of caffeine in the blood circulation :( As for the -devel port, no, I don't think this is needed. Yes, I know about gold releases, but the 'other' releases are usually good enough to use; and whenever there's a problem, it's usually picked up and fixed by the maintainer before the port update, so the FreeBSD port usually 'just works'. I guess I should apologize for whining about the release flurry - yes, there was reason enough for the intermediate releases - bugs fixed, features added, etc. G'luck, Peter -- You have, of course, just begun reading the sentence that you have just finished reading.
