We've waited long enough. >=20 In the strain of a bug I reported I also tried to fix this port, since the = prior maintainer seems to have abandonded this great port. I'm a bit pissed off about the rude tune I feel treated! The developer has patched the original sources to meet some FreeBSD require= ments regarding a readline issue now fixed and especially some serious bugs in bi= b2ris and a transforming/migrating tool using UTF-8 encodings for LaTeX codings. Since = not all patches are 100% tested (but they work graeat for me in a scientific enviro= nment), the upstream developer hestiates creating the new tarball.=20 As I documented with this PR, I'm wating for the developer to publish a new tarball. I spent lot of time to provide a workaround for fixing the lack of the new = tarball and some serious previously unresolved FreeBSD issues and the time I sacrificed= is not only "working time"! I mention this since I'm feeling put under pressure as the = note sent to me documents. What is the policy of FreeBSD's port system? There are lots of ports waitin= g to be fixed since they have serious issue, like silc-toolkit. Is this port also about t= o be deleted or isn't there a "lobby" preventing this? In a hurry, to prevent the destruction of the port textproc/refdb, I provid= ed a patch. The patch is a bit messy since I had to incorporate all changes made in the= meanwhile after creation of refdb-1.0.2.tar.gz (provided at: http://sourceforge.net/projects/refdb/files/latest/download).=20 Please see PR "Bug 193484 - [textproc/refdb] Update port".
