Committing a library with significant missing functionality, having the same name as a preceding port _with_ that functionality, is very bad. It breaks our ports. I know you're the maintainer, but you have to really think about the responsibility of keeping things working. I'm sorry if it offended you that I backed out your hard work; it is quite necessary, while the library is still broken (defined in the "bad" definition in the paragraph above.) > > Kris > -- Brian Fundakowski Feldman \ FreeBSD: The Power to Serve! / green@FreeBSD.org `------------------------------' To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
