At some point recently, a committer added: BROKEN= "Does not compile" to the Makefile for the py-opengl port. I received no mail so I could resolve the problem. Why? One of the users mailed me asking why it was marked broken. The package author's web site has been down. Had I been notified, this could have been resolved immediately. -- Randall Hopper aa8vb@ipass.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
