Perhaps; this is why I rescinded my offer to do all the legwork and take on the burden of maintaining the port :-) Seriously, I believe GLOBAL and FreeBSD would _both_ be better served by having it installed from ports anyway. Note that gozilla isn't even installed by the version in /usr/src, owing to its need for things coming from ports (X, Netscape). > Shigio was probably taken aback by Jerry's proposal. But not nearly as taken aback as I was that a BSD package is going GPL. :-( -- Jerry Hicks wghicks@bellsouth.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
