I don't think we are getting enough bang for our buck WRT to GimpUserManual. I would like to propose that we add "NO_CDROM" to the PostScript version. The only reason someone would want the PostScript version is to print it out (the PDF version is much more useful when reading on-line). Since both Acrobat and xpdf can produce the PostScript version, why do we need it? Think about how many more distfiles we could have fit on the CDROM set w/o GimpUserManual-PS-1.0.0.tgz being there. -- -- David (obrien@NUXI.com -or- obrien@FreeBSD.org) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
