While I appreciate foxfair for sending in those new ports under
ports/chinese before 4.2-RELEASE, there are some issues/suggestions
I'd like to make:
1. For chinese/netscape47-{communicator,navigator}, they need
chinese/XFree86-aoutlibs as well. It's already send-pr'd
as ports/22479. Please commit it also.
2. Please don't copy outta-port/* directly to ports/chinese.
For those who are interested, outta-port is a port-extended
respository for Taiwan users. It consisted of many temporary
fixes and ugly hacks for Big5 users. Many people tried very hard
to make them clean enough to get in ports/chinese. It seems
that chinese/netscape47-* and chinese/cle_base are directly
copied from outta-port. Please at least ask the maintainers
if you want to do that, especially when you ignored those which
are already send-pr'd(ports/21691, ports/22341-22342, ports/22479-22481)
3. For chinese/cle_base, it should be renamed to chinese/linux_base,
like emulators/linux_base(not emultors/rh_base). Please see ports/21691.
It may be reasonable to repo-copy emulators/linux_base, since they
only differ in localedata*.rpm and XFree*.rpm for Big5 support.
But I'm not sure about this.
