Yes, and I didn't mean to imply anything except that dealing with
portmgr@ is slow business.
As I said, my box has cooling problems, e. g. it couldn't finish two
consecutive builds of mod_php4 yesterday. Plus, testing can't prove
absence of bugs, and I of course tested all changes, but missed some
things, like the fact that there are more RE metacharacters than
just the dot. That's what public testing is good for, right? :)
BTW any progress with ports/40699? Average response time from
portmgr@ 7 months, and it's been suspended ("the patch doesn't apply
anymore"; no wonder two years after it's been submitted :) for more
than month despite three new versions of the patch?
