Kris has been removing the MAINTAINER of lot's of ports. Seeing as this is being done without even the hope of anyone else taking over, for the vast majorityof what is being done, has it been decided that this is a good thing? I'm not arguing in any way if the maintainers involved have been active, inactive, or comatose ... I'm arguing if moving from having a maintainer that answers only rarely if at all, is really worse than having no maintainer at all. If this is being done because Kris can't get a response when he wants changes, and he doesn't want to wait, I think that possibly he's doing folks a disservice, because I think some mainatainer is probably better than none at all, and for the majority of what he's doing, that's going to be the ultimate effect. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include C & Java programming, FreeBSD, chuckr@picnic.mat.net | electronics, communications, and signal processing.
