well, i never heard back from anyone regarding this, so i don't know if anyone's done anything with it or not. so, i have to bare my shame to _everyone_, and say that there were a couple of fairly serious bugs in the 5.1 version of vile on which my ports makefiles were based. i've released a new version of vile to fix those bugs, and tarred up a new set of vile/xvile ports directory stuff, referencing the new tarball etc. so, if anyone _did_ pick up my stuff from id.wing.net:/pub/pgf/freebsd, they should do it again. sorry 'bout that. i promise this won't become a "release du jour". i _really_ thought this was a stable release, and waited for a long time (several bugfix only releases) before submitting this stuff... can i quit grovelling now? :-) (i still don't quite understand the proper protocol for all this. can someone please fill me in? should i be pestering the list with this?) paul > > hi -- i've put together a tar file of what i think should > be working ports directories for both "vile" and "xvile" (they're > different targets, built from the same distribution.) i followed > the examples set by "less" and "screen" for guidance, so i think > what i've got should be pretty close to working, if not quite there. > (for those not in the know, vile is a vi-workalike i've been writing > and maintaining for a number of years now.) > > what's the protocol at this stage? does someone just volunteer to > try this? the two directories are tarred together, and can be > picked up from id.wing.net, in /pub/pgf/freebsd/freebsd-vile-ports.tar.gz. > > one problem i know of is that although my makefiles can assume a $PREFIX > for helping to install the binaries, the pkg/PLIST file cannot. so i > probably got the final destination for xvile wrong in the PLIST file. > > let me know what else i can do to help. > > paul > > (my email address during the day is pgf@mgate.lotus.com -- you might > reply to both that and the address below for quickest response...) > > --------------------- > paul fox, pgf@foxharp.boston.ma.us (arlington, ma)
