Must be, the system has remained the same since the release of NetBSD
2.0, since I don't remember cvsup'ing, stock pkgsrc is likely.

Good to know!

I'll remove them. They only ever got inserted because when I started
writing the package, the NetBSD documentation said to look at FreeBSD's
documentation, which mentioned them.

My bad, I though pkglint complained about it. Well, I'll set up a
version directory for DIST_SUBDIR when I look at everything else.
Unfortunately, it is unlikely that the author will change anything. His
website has been down for some time and I don't have a current e-mail
address.

Thanks.

Actually, the distribution tarball contains ALOT of extra files. I
believe it was built and distributed by cygwin, so it has to be cleaned.
I can clean it up, re-tar and host in on my website if you think it
would be a good idea.

my pkglint must be old. thanks.

Thanks for the tips, I'll cvsup pkgsrc, checkout wip, update pkglint,
and take a look at everything tonight and try and do a commit soon.


Thanks,
