Thus, sometimes it takes the port maintainer some time to iron out the wrinkles in each new version, and to make sure that it really works, before updating the port which sometimes thousands of people will use, relying on the fact that the maintainer has done his job well. Of course, this is just random ranting and generalizing, and may have nothing at all to do with the port in question :) G'luck, Peter --=20 Peter Pentchev roam@ringlet.net roam@FreeBSD.org PGP key: http://people.FreeBSD.org/~roam/roam.key.asc Key fingerprint FDBA FD79 C26F 3C51 C95E DF9E ED18 B68D 1619 4553 If this sentence didn't exist, somebody would have invented it. --FUaywKC54iCcLzqT Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE9hc967Ri2jRYZRVMRAvy5AJ9SQvdVZT2m5vwsvmp4C1PFevweewCdFJls mH/wLSK6oF4LeL3QJknubBY= =8MJp -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --FUaywKC54iCcLzqT-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
