I was told this had been done but it is still not done. The current listed maintainer has informed me that they are no longer interested in maintaining the port. Furthermore, the current port is broken to an extent that it does not work with our linux afbackup clients. I have a fully functional port to version 3.3.7 ready to upload. I have been using this modified port on FreeBSD 4.10, 4.11, 5.3 and 5.4 without problems for over a year. How do I proceed to remove the current maintainer and upload changes? regards, Patrick URL: http://www.spacereg.com/ Email: patrick@spacesurfer.com Tel: +44.7050699851 Fax: +44.7050699852 Personal URL: http://patrick.spacesurfer.com/
