This port was deleted by bapt@ using his portmgr hat about three months ago because the distfile was no longer available. I resurrected it and assumed maintainership a few days ago however learning that it is no longer maintained by an upline, portmgr made the right decision to delete it at that time. I just reimplemented what was done three months ago. -- Cheers, Cy Schubert <Cy.Schubert@komquats.com> FreeBSD UNIX: <cy@FreeBSD.org> Web: http://www.FreeBSD.org
