I have been thinking about porting the 3D modeller sceda - xaero dumps core all the time, and isn't really a general purpose modeller anyway. I've compiled it with one minor modification, but to run with Povray it needs a patched version of Povray. Although it supports other renderers, Povray is by far the most commonly used free renderer. At the moment, the only versions of Povray available from the main Povray site are limited-life betas of Povray 3. At the sceda site, a patched version of the Povray 2 source (150K) is available as well as the small patch needed to get it running with sceda. So, should I put just the patch in the port, put the patched Povray source in as well, or what? Maybe make the patched Povray 2 a separate port, on which sceda is dependent, and upgrade this when Povray 3 release comes out? (mid July) -- Michael Searle - searle@longacre.demon.co.uk
