My comment that (inadvertently) touched off this little firestorm in a teacup referred to the *previous* maintainer's business model. In any case, a change in maintainer for a project as big as the Chromium port is sure to involve some upheaval, and I am willing to be patient a little while longer. The new maintainer will surely get us on at least the current major version number, whereas with the previous we ended up lagging behind by about two major version numbers, at least once he gets things sorted out. Someone mentioned the mailing list for the freebsd-chromium support group. I'm inclined to check it out. --=20 Chad Perrin [ original content licensed OWL: http://owl.apotheon.org ] --qMm9M+Fa2AknHoGS Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.14 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAk02AI8ACgkQ9mn/Pj01uKVaBACfXdHzEih3XHP3m9+FMWkTaLvX XSkAn0J7cKuQGZ5uZAJfP0EtTmHQJDpN =lwgF -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --qMm9M+Fa2AknHoGS--
