ROTFL... this mail on ports@ is from you... :-) I suggest to contact the port maintainer with the fix. If he doesn't answer, send a PR. As soon as someone (maintainer / other committer in the PR case) has time and motivation, the fix will get committed. Bye, Alexander (ENOTIME ATM, else I would have taken care about this already). -- Gordon's first law: If a research project is not worth doing, it is not worth doing well. http://www.Leidinger.net Alexander @ Leidinger.net: PGP ID = B0063FE7 http://www.FreeBSD.org netchild @ FreeBSD.org : PGP ID = 72077137
