Under such harsh > conditions I'm not willing to maintain a port for this window manager. I've grabbed maintainership. I like ion, despite the licence. ;-) The licence change was made mainly to prevent "ordinary users" from getting an ancient version when they ask their package manager for "ion". It is mainly aimed at certain Linux distributions who peg their package managers to their releases and never update packages on releases. Since the ports tree is not tagged, this is not really a problem for us. When people ask for "ion" from the ports (ion-3, actually), they'll get the latest version -- provided the maintainer is somewhat alive, which I'll do my best to be -- which is precisely what the licence wants. But never mind all that. I'll happily maintain the port for you. I'll try to be as good a parent as you've been. :-) - Philip -- Philip Paeps Please don't Cc me, I am philip@freebsd.org subscribed to the list. BOFH Excuse #166: /pub/lunch
