Actually, in this case, if you weren't reading the ports list, you really couldn't have known. Normally, folks drop a copy off in incoming on ftp.freebsd.org, or maybe (if they're really nice) use send-pr to announce it. I like it if they use send-pr, because it stands as a reminder, and I can be mentioned as the responsible party, so it catches up to me. He put the port on the list about a week and a half before you announced yours. I haven't committed it, because I have been in a discussion with Satoshi about how to handle X11 ports (how to reroute them out of X11R6/bin) but I think I'll have to commit it today. Andy didn't put a copy in incoming, and didn't use send-pr. I don't see how you could have known, unless maybe you checked the mailing list archives for the word 'unclutter'. Hopefully, this won't happen again, I really hate it when people do work, and get slapped in the face for it. Your work was good, I hope you send in more! > > Thank you. > > MOROHOSHI Akihiko > Courses. of EEICE, Fac. of Eng., The Univ. of Tokyo > RACE, The Univ. of Tokyo > ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@eng.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 9120 Edmonston Ct #302 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 and n3lxx, both FreeBSD (301) 220-2114 | version 2.2 current -- and great FUN! ----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
