Deafening silence...<br><br>Anyway. Attached is the proposed update -- I suspect, the port has not worked<br>for /very/ long time. It used to overwrite a kdelibs-installed x-pcx mimelnk<br>and install a useless x-tga, when x-targa was already installed by kdelibs.
<br><br>This and other pkg-plist problems should all be fixed now. The port will<br>depend on and use GraphicsMagick instead of ImageMagick. GM's developers<br>emphasise API-stability, so the port should stop requiring as frequent
<br>updates as it used to. Keeping port's own "private" headers is no longer<br>necessary either.<br><br>Please, approve. Thanks,<br><br> -mi<br><br>On середа 07 листопад 2007, Mikhail Teterin wrote:<br>
