I've got some SERIOUS complaints concerning the version of tracker bundled with the 2.2-ALPHA release of FreeBSD. - first, 5.3 is supposed to be a BETA release for private use. It is EMPHATICALLY ****NOT**** to be included with any public releases. It should only be on my site. Quote from the general README in the beta directory: This is a BETA version of the soon-to-be release of tracker. It will change each time it needs to. Use only for beta-testing, do not redistribute ! don't you people know how to read ? - second problem, when you start up this version of tracker, it does say: This is tracker 5.3 This program is NOT to be redistributed without the full documentation I fail to see the full documentation as part of YOUR package. I am perfectly willing to distribute programs I write to the world at large, but ONLY IF YOU ARE PLAYING BY THE RULES. * in case of doubt, please ask. If the latest publically available release of tracker does NOT run on FreeBSD, maybe we can work something through. * leaving the documentation OUT is akin to software piracy. The newer releases of tracker ARE copyrighted AND shareware. You are not supposed to leave this kind of thing out. <URL:ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/unix/FreeBSD/2.2-ALPHA/All/tracker-5.3.tgz> -- microsoft network is EXPLICITLY forbidden to redistribute this message. `Seiza no matataki kazoe, uranau koi no yuku e.'
