Well, yes, I went thru that page before sending the email to the ports list. Here, I was trying (if possible) to choose a port. Looks like a lot of the ports, besides having packages which do the exact same thing scattered over multiple directories, nearly everything I found had one or more problems with it. I haven't yet been able to test all the ones I put on my candidate list (several infrastructure software build faults) but of all I have found, it seems like the Java app "Violet" is the best for me. Ah, well, it's not perfect, but it works, it prints without coredumping, and delivers reasonable images. AND it doesn't force me to think Java when I'm designing a python app (that's highly confusing). _______________________________________________ freebsd-chat@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-chat To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-chat-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
