This also raises the question of how long=20 > freebsd.org will retain the distfiles it has....indefintely? Take a damn hard try to locate the new website of the software. Often the software resurfaces elsewhere, very silently. If you can't find it anywhere, suggested action is to mark the port DEPRECATED and delete it after two months, unless someone steps in and salvage the port by hosting the distfile on his webspace and taking the responsibility for that port. --=20 Pav Lucistnik The use of the lavatory is restricted to the train's cat. --=-MPYIKEvcE2uBhzOzEpPm Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: Toto je =?UTF-8?Q?digit=C3=A1ln=C4=9B?= =?ISO-8859-1?Q?_podepsan=E1?= =?UTF-8?Q?_=C4=8D=C3=A1st?= =?ISO-8859-1?Q?_zpr=E1vy?= -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBFJ5kFntdYP8FOsoIRAlr4AKCnQ0gUkOnnnAzlHqWoRJylQqCOCwCgx9nH tN0q8U5j+6M3Zf63yd+RLZA= =CxqN -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-MPYIKEvcE2uBhzOzEpPm--
