When the PR was sent to the -ports list, I glanced over it and only pointed out a couple obvious bogons. I didn't look at it in any serious way. I'm sorry, but I simply do not have time right now to look over too many ports. I'm already bitching at myself for waiting too long on some three other things I sorta suggested I was going to do here (no, Eivend, I haven't forgotten about that tclsh/wish patch! :)... As for replying to your last query .... I seem to recall that I started to, but then realized there was nothing significant to add. I thought I did answer the "should I resubmit the port" question in private email --- sorry if you didn't get that for whatever reason. To answer: "No. Most of the changes seem minor enough that if you make a note of them, whoever commits the port can simply change them before committing it." Don't get me wrong --- there is no excuse for the FreeBSD ports team to leave some of these submitted ports lingering in the PR system for months. *If* the submitter takes the time to do the port properly and well, and bothers to read the porting guidelines and use portlint, then there is no reason we can't review them faster, save for lack of manpower. However, please don't single me out unfairly. I have enough things to take the heat for not acting on already, and this is not one of them. -- tIM...HOEk OPTIMIZATION: the process of using many one-letter variables names hoping that the resultant code will run faster.
