I'm glad that you think that timelimit's functionality is better than that of its netpipes equivalent, but if others don't share that opinion, I could change the port so that the user may specify a program prefix at build time. Still, I'd prefer to leave the default prefix empty :) > *** > As well, timelimit-1.7 would be a great candidate for import into world > since it is your e-std 2 clause BSD license and a 3 file compile. ;) And > if noone else wants to maintain it in tree then ill volunteer. > *** Oh! Of course, I, as the upstream author, would only be flattered if people were to decide that timelimit is fit to enter the FreeBSD base system :) And certainly I would be willing to maintain it myself in that case; still, thanks a lot for the offer, and a helping hand or three could never be too much :) G'luck, Peter -- Peter Pentchev r...@space.bg r...@ringlet.net r...@freebsd.org PGP key: http://people.FreeBSD.org/~roam/roam.key.asc Key fingerprint FDBA FD79 C26F 3C51 C95E DF9E ED18 B68D 1619 4553 I am the thought you are now thinking.
