Hrm, I've been thinking about this. Would people be interested in having a seperate editors/joe29 port? -pete ++ 22/04/01 14:10 -0700 - Kevin Day: | The following reply was made to PR ports/26773; it has been noted by GNATS. | | From: Kevin Day <toasty@temphost.dragondata.com> | To: freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org, petef@databits.net | Cc: | Subject: ports/26773: update editors/joe to version 2.9.6 | Date: Sun, 22 Apr 2001 16:01:51 -0500 (CDT) | | The reason I've been holding off in submitting something like this is | because the author/developer of Joe has *Nothing* to do with these latest | versions of Joe coming out. | | Others have taken the last version of joe that he developed, bumped the | version number, made a bunch of changes, and are still caling it the same | joe, with no differentiation that this is a fork of the original package. | | If Joe Allen endorses, or even recognizes these as being official, I have no | problem with recommending that the newer versions be brought in. But, I do | have a serious problem with some external group "taking over" a project like | this without at least somehow marking that this is different than the | original project. | | As far as I know, nobody has even audited the changes they've made to see | that they aren't introducing (yet another) hole in this editor... I'd like | to hold off a bit, regardless... | | -- Kevin | (Joe maintainer) | | | To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org | with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message -- Pete Fritchman <petef@databits.net> Databits Network Services, Inc. <http://databits.net>; finger petef@databits.net for PGP key To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
