I've got some SERIOUS complaints concerning the version of tracker
bundled with the 2.2-ALPHA release of FreeBSD.
- first, 5.3 is supposed to be a BETA release for private use. It is
EMPHATICALLY ****NOT**** to be included with any public releases. It
should only be on my site. Quote from the general README in the beta
directory:
This is a BETA version of the soon-to-be release of tracker.
It will change each time it needs to.
Use only for beta-testing, do not redistribute !
don't you people know how to read ?
- second problem, when you start up this version of tracker, it does say:
This is tracker 5.3
This program is NOT to be redistributed
without the full documentation
I fail to see the full documentation as part of YOUR package.
I am perfectly willing to distribute programs I write to the world at
large, but ONLY IF YOU ARE PLAYING BY THE RULES.
* in case of doubt, please ask. If the latest publically available release
of tracker does NOT run on FreeBSD, maybe we can work something through.
* leaving the documentation OUT is akin to software piracy. The newer
releases of tracker ARE copyrighted AND shareware. You are not supposed to
leave this kind of thing out.
