X-BeenThere: freebsd-ports@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: Porting software to FreeBSD List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Wed, 24 Nov 2004 14:04:19 -0000 Hi, I noticed the current FreeBSD port for the XML archiver XMLPPM is slightly outdated. The version in the ports tree (0.98.1) contains a bug wich causes file corruption when 'large' XML files are processed. The latest version, available from SourceForge (http://sourceforge.net/projects/xmlppm), fixes this. Also, XMLPPM is currently named "textproc/xmlpmm" in the ports tree. I would suggest moving it to "archivers/xmlppm", because this is a better categorization and it is more consistent with another XML archiver, XMill, which is in the in the "archivers" directory and does pretty much te same thing. I hope you find this information helpful. Kind regards, Maks Verver.
