In the past, more than 3 or 4 times people popped up expressing interest in working on i4b for OpenBSD and everytime i invested time to get them started, answering questions and helped understanding the code. All those people disappeared silently without a trace. Two times i did a port to OpenBSD myself, without any feedback from any user. At least two times i asked on the OpenBSD mailinglist for someone interested in maintaining the OpenBSD port of i4b. The result was equal to zero both times. I will not invest any more time in an OpenBSD port of i4b and i am seriously considering removing the rotten OpenBSD bits from i4b in case noone shows interest in them. This is in no way an offense, just a description of the current situation. To repeat, you are more than welcome to work on this, but please understand that i will not invest more time into this unless i see some results. hellmuth -- Hellmuth Michaelis Tel +49 40 55 97 47-70 HCS Hanseatischer Computerservice GmbH Fax +49 40 55 97 47-77 Oldesloer Strasse 97-99 Mail hm [at] hcs.de D-22457 Hamburg WWW http://www.hcs.de To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isdn" in the body of the message
