The following reply was made to PR ports/91368; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Josh Paetzel <josh@tcbug.org> To: bug-followup@freebsd.org, frank@dynamical-systems.org, edwin@freebsd.org Cc: Subject: ports/91368 xephem patch Date: Fri, 6 Jan 2006 01:32:41 -0600 I have passed this patch on to the xephem developers and they said they will consider it. In the meantime they do not want us to patch the FreeBSD port. <quote> However, regardless of the validity of this patch, I ask that you not include it in the freebsd ports version of XEphem. Our policies prohibit redistribution of modified versions of XEphem other than non-functional changes required for proper operation on a given platform, which this is clearly beyond. This policy avoids confusion amongst users regarding exactly what it is they are running when they run "XEphem", and avoids proliferation of forked sources. Now and in the future, please always just use the current free version of XEphem source code as posted on our web site when building for the freebsd port collection. </quote> -- Thanks, Josh Paetzel
