Looking around, it looks like the new xforms port is a complete rewrite (even a license change). So my initial impression is that what is required is for someone to make a serious effort to rewrite qslim, which seems like a huge amount of work to me. What I suggest is that we introduce a legacy x11-toolkits/xforms088 so that ports like qslim can still work in the meantime. What do people think about that? -- Stephen Montgomery-Smith stephen@math.missouri.edu http://www.math.missouri.edu/~stephen To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
