Hi folks, I'm sorry to inform you that I've decided to stop maintaining the 2 aMule ports net-p2p/amule1 and net-p2p/amule2. I created them about 3 years ago and have been maintaining them since. I live in France and it has become too dangerous for me to maintain them. The new "DADVSI" law has just be approved, and the one who shares a "p2p software obviously dedicated to piracy" incurs 3 years of jail and 300.000 euros. The law is not "active" yet, but it will be very soon. Even if I really don't think aMule is a piracy software, this might not be everybody's opinion. Moreover, a good citizen has to respect the law, so I'll do. I've just changed the Maintainer to ports@FreeBSD.org. I've also warned the aMule team and removed links on my Website (http://contribs.martymac.com). I'd be happy if someone could take care of those two orphan ports... Here is the related PR : http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=99753 Best regards, Ganaël LAPLANCHE ganael.laplanche@martymac.com http://www.martymac.com Tel : (+33)6.84.03.57.24.
