I will have a look to integrate it and use= it in pkgng, won't be for 10.0 packages, but I'll make it for 11.* packages a= nd probably 10.1. regards, Bapt --ZfOjI3PrQbgiZnxM Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAlIxWUQACgkQ8kTtMUmk6ExIgACgnseQ6YPXEhzxbiO7sBpo2LUG BycAnid5l0grpFJjSPkIMGN/uZLxjx0C =hNf3 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --ZfOjI3PrQbgiZnxM--
