But, I do | have a serious problem with some external group "taking over" a project like | this without at least somehow marking that this is different than the | original project. | | As far as I know, nobody has even audited the changes they've made to see | that they aren't introducing (yet another) hole in this editor... I'd like | to hold off a bit, regardless... | | -- Kevin | (Joe maintainer) | | | To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org | with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message -- Pete Fritchman Databits Network Services, Inc. finger petef@databits.net for PGP key To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
