If they're using LANG=ja_JP.EUC, chances are their English->Japanese dictionary won't have the word "wanna" in it, unless it's one of the nice ones that also carry all the various vulgar English words.

You are already using the MAN? variables (as you should be), so listing manpages in the PLIST is wrong (the manpages will actually be listed twice once the final PLIST is created!). If some of the manpages are just links to other manpages, you should use the MLINKS variable. > X# Date created: 20 Jan 1996 > X# Whom: peter > X# > X# $Id: Makefile,v 1.16 1999/05/04 22:26:56 steve Exp $ Lastly, if you're submitting an update to an existing port, please send diffs to the existing port. Make sure you have an up-to-date copy of the existing port from either cvsup, anoncvs, or ftp.FreeBSD.org, and use "diff -rc old_fvwm fvwm" to generate the diffs (I usually get the line backwards, so I'm sure someone will correct me :). Please resubmit your update of the port (it's a certain amount of work for us to make all the above changes when you already have the updated copy sitting on your hdd). Feel free to ask if you have any questions, yet. Before you submit your update to the port, you should check with the maintainer of the port, me@FreeBSD.org. We are not supposed to update the port without the permission of the maintainer, except in the cases where the maintainer can't be reached within a reasonable amount of time or where there is no maintainer. I'm going to close this PR so when/if you resubmit the update with appropriate changes, just send-pr into a new PR. Thanks, -- This is my .signature which gets appended to the end of my messages.
