From: Stephen Montgomery-Smith To: bug-followup@FreeBSD.org, ewgenij.gawrilow@o2online.de Cc: Stephen Montgomery-Smith Subject: Re: ports/152152: math/polymake: Port upgrade request Date: Wed, 15 Jun 2011 10:56:48 -0500 Hi Ewgenij, I built polymake-2.9.9 last night, and it looks like a really nice program. I am a brand new ports committer, and I would like to go ahead and commit your changes. But being brand new, I am required to get approval from mentors before I commit changes. In the meantime, I have some questions about your program. 1. When I first run the program, I get a message "Unquoted string "v" may clash with future reserved word at (eval 583) line 2." This only seems to happen when the program creates .polymake. Maybe this isn't a big deal. 2. When I tried to view an object, the program used "gv" to produce the image. I got the impression from the documentation that the program was meant to use "javaview" and that maybe I could rotate the object from the screen. I am using diablo-jdk16 for java - could this be part of the reason, or is it something else? I must admit that I have only tried the short code segments that appear in your introductionary tutoral. 3. In the port Makefile, you only have one MASTER_SITE. The FreeBSD people prefer at least two. Are there any mirrors of this software? Finally, I see on your web page that there is a version 2.10 that has come out. I look forward to seeing this update submitted soon. (But let me commit version 2.9.9 first.) Stephen
