Many other distributions would not accept a port on such a basis or drop it if no one was willing to maintain it. MacPorts is more permissive.
Again these are my thoughts as you requested not necessarily a statement of MacPorts policy. Dave Evans _______________________________________________ macports-dev mailing list macports-dev@lists.macosforge.org https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-dev
