I suspect not many people these days miss cflow, and the few that do simply use devel/cflow. # Whom would be the responsible to get into detail about it? This list is most likely the best place. I expect some argument about making it part of src/ when a port is available. You would counter that if your version does something that devel/cflow can not do or your version does better. As a minimum requirement it would have to correctly process what we have in the src tree. (I never tested if devel/cflow can do this). As for basing your work on devel/cflow, I looked at the source and it says it was put in the public domain by Andrew Moore. However there are a lot of other authors mentioned. IANAL, but I question if someone can put something in the PD if it's not 100% his own and without asking all other contributors. To avoid all these questions, a reimplementation from scratch with ideas (but not verbatim code) taken from devel/cflow would be best. A BSD licensed and style(9) conformant result would certainly be appreciated. Regards, Jens -- Jens Schweikhardt http://www.schweikhardt.net/ SIGSIG -- signature too long (core dumped)
