Last night I discovered that, while the port compiles and builds just fine, the binaries it produces all core dump. Apparently 7.0 has changed so drastically that major work needs to be done on the code to get the binaries working again. I am not capable of doing that work. I could submit the port for 6.0 and earlier, but I have no machines to test it on. Pkg-plist isn't done. The installation bits aren't done except for the libraries. So, unless you know how to create ports yourself, what I have so far wouldn't do you any good at all. I thought this was going to be fairly easy, but this software is extremely Linux-centric and needs an experience FreeBSD programmer to get it working in 7.0 I'm wondering now if it might be easier to just build it under Linux emulation. Any thoughts? -- Paul Schmehl (pauls@utdallas.edu) Senior Information Security Analyst The University of Texas at Dallas http://www.utdallas.edu/ir/security/
