There must have been a bit of biff in the rugby league test the other night, lets just agree thats enough Anzac hostilities for the moment :). > I thought you might chime-in on the plugins as ports bit... any thoughts? No real change from me, I still think the plugins should either be marked broken or upgraded to a version that works with whatever we put in the main eclipse port. If someone wants to go with something else then I'll take a look at patches and commit them, but I don't have the cycles to be the main eclipse maintainer. Same deal for keeping old versions around. If people want that then they need to come up with a workable system of how thats going to interact with plugin ports and the patches to the present eclipse port that would allow it to be committed as eclipse32 or whatever. Yes I realise there are multiple versions of emacs, for instance, but thats because someone was interested enough to do the work to make it so. I really think the Eclipse community on FreeBSD isn't large enough to do more than eclipse and eclipse-devel (and we even struggle to keep those up to date, which I'm just as guilty of as anyone else). -- Greg Lewis Email : glewis@eyesbeyond.com Eyes Beyond Web : http://www.eyesbeyond.com Information Technology FreeBSD : glewis@FreeBSD.org
