* I've put arena-port2.tgz into ftp.freebsd.org:/pub/FreeBSD/incoming
* (arena-port.tgz is a failed attempt at me transfering it).
Well, that one doesn't work either, both seem to be incomplete. In
fact, arena-port2.tgz has zero size. :<
* Inspired by the netscape binary only port this is arena 0.97,
* binary only. You may not want to include this in the ports
* tree since it's not as fully functional a web browser as netscape
* but unlike netscape it has no ugly licencing and there are those
* of us out here that dislike Netscape for one reason or another.
*
* Anyway, here it is if you want it in the ports area.
What's the licensing terms? I've worked around their homepage a bit,
but can't find anything about licenses.
Anyway, I think arena is a very, very beautiful little program ("sexy"
in Jordan's words), but it's way too buggy for my taste (it just hung
on me after a couple of minutes -- and it doesn't support 16-bit
displays well...grrrr). But of course I'm not going to get in the way
if people want to port & use it, so if someone else wants to commit
it, go right ahead.
Make sure the packaging works though, even if NO_PACKAGE is set in the
Makefile, please test it with "FORCE_PACKAGE=yes" from the command
line.
