The reason I didn't respond to your previous message is because your
"changes" showed about 95% diffs against the version that I submitted,
including the following major features missing:
+ Use of perl5 ports to handle dependencies rather than having the port
build automatically retrieve and install them from CPAN. If the port
installs files that are not listed in the packing list, then the port
is broken and won't create binary packages correctly.
+ You clobbered my user addition scripts and replaced them with
hard-coded user/group and UID/GID settings.
+ You basically re-wrote my rc.d script with different tab stops, and
added some tunables, which should really be in
etc/rc.interchange.conf. See the isc-dhcp port for an example of
this.
+ You removed my attribution from the pkg-descr file. The FreeBSD
Porters Handbook in section 2.2.2 suggests that you sign your name at
the end of this file. If you're going to take over maintainership of
this port, you should at least replace my name with yours in this
file.
+ You didn't segregate the install path of interchange-specific
utilities. Putting utilities with names like "dump" and "restart"
into ${PREFIX}/bin does not seem like such a good idea, if for no
other reason than the fact that they will always need to be invoked
using a full pathname anyway.
I also noticed you typo'd your MAINTAINER line as netchild@FreeBSB.org.
Your version did not appear to be based on mine at all, save for the
packing list and port description.
