That's what I *likely* would've done (if I didn't have commit bit): fix the port in the fastest way possible *for myself*, and move on. Removing one single line from the Makefile is much easier than fixing the port for real and filing a PR (or forking it at GitHub and sending a pull request, LOL). > The ports are not obliterated from this universe, they have been marked > BROKEN for six months, if anyone is interested in some of them, it is > always possible to resurrect them. While that's true, it takes some effort to actually find the removed port and properly resurrect it. But then again: it's becoming ridiculous, I'm obviously losing this argument here so why don't we just all move along... Peace, ./danfe
