The following reply was made to PR ports/3924; it has been noted by GNATS.

Hmm, sorry about that. Wolfram suggested to put it in a new collection ports/german. I didn't like that idea too much, since spinne's `de' is considered a deficiency of the software--the authors are just to lazy to translate the docs and online helps to English. This deficiency should not give birth to a new collection. I suggested a new collection like ports/informatics or ports/computerscience, that includes software used and written by computer science students. (compiler/interpreter of strange languages (Pascal), Turing Machines, visual MIXAL ...) This would be a proper place to put spinne in *and* it would help FreeBSD spreading on the campus. That's all.
