As a rule, I CC port maintainers (and the last committer chaning the port's Makefile) when I submit a PR regarding a port. In this case, I not only did that, but also keep bothering this fine people, without any response, regretfully. My last such bothering took place less then a week ago, when I wrote to the Eddie mailing list: http://www.eddieware.org/mail/talk/0404.html Both seb@bluetail.com and ruslan@shevchenko.kiev.ua did not reply :( Perhaps we (Jimmy Olgeni and yours truly) should merge our patches and resubmit, but it would be nice to see a confirmation, that it will be looked at before we spend any more effort... -mi To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
