Inactive maintainers who ignore maintenance of the port for nearly a year but don't let anyone else step in to fix things aren't good for FreeBSD. Kris P.S.

I hope you'll find the time to look at them soon. --bp/iNruPH9dso1Pn Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE+zMn6Wry0BWjoQKURAnUuAKDSlw5V384xBUuvt7i8yZrUje++zQCgncue 1f2gPe8d1GoQztBo+HI3QTs= =MnrV -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --bp/iNruPH9dso1Pn--
